Description
Homesteaders 1905 by unknown artist
This is one of several vintage photos that we have enhanced.
It depicts a family of six homesteaders, seven if you count the family dog.
In a July 4, 1861 speech, Lincoln told the nation the purpose of America’s government was "to elevate the condition of men, to lift artificial burdens from all shoulders and to give everyone an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life." He followed through with the passage of the Homestead Act, which remained active for 124 years until it was repealed in 1976, and resulted in 10 percent of U.S. land—or 270 million acres—to be claimed and settled.
