1890: A Pivotal Year in American History and Culture

The year 1890 marked significant milestones in American history, including the creation of Yosemite National Park, championed by John Muir, and the admission of Wyoming as the 44th state. It was a time of technological advancement with over 125,000 miles of railroad, and the birth of pivotal women’s organizations like the National Women’s Suffrage Association. The year also saw the construction of notable structures like the Wainwright Building and the Forth Rail Bridge, alongside tragic events like the Battle of Wounded Knee, and literary contributions such as Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray."
