Had to go home yesterday to meet the plumber and a roof-estimate guy, so I spent the time doing quick, impressionistic studies of the Oatman family, like these.
Daily Whip Out: "Lucy, 17, and Royce, 41, Oatman (both killed)"
Daily Whip Out: "Charity Ann, 5, And Mary Ann Oatman, 38 (both killed)"
Daily Whip Out: "Royce, Jr., 11, and Roland, 3, Oatman (both killed)"
Daily Whip Out: "Olivia, 13, and Mary Ann, 7, Oatman (kidnapped)"
Daily Whip Out: "Lorenzo Dow Oatman, 15 (survived)"
Other than Olive and Lorenzo, there are no known photographs of the family, so I tried to channel some of their pioneer grit and innocence, in order to give a face to the tragedy.
