The image showcases the resilience and determination of these early American settlers as they plow through the untamed fields of Texas, creating a new chapter in history. The vintage illustration portrays a scene filled with nostalgia and tradition. A farmer guides his oxen with expertise, skillfully maneuvering the plow that carves its way into the fertile soil.
