The echoes of their struggles can be seen in the poignant image captured by Dorothea Lange near Klamath Falls, Oregon in 1939. The tent's opening reveals children peering out, symbolizing both vulnerability and resilience amidst adversity. Mrs. Soper's recollections paint a vivid picture of those early days when they first arrived in Willow Creek, Oregon. With determination etched on their faces, these settlers faced countless challenges head-on while holding onto hope for better tomorrows. On Dead Ox Flat in Malheur County, the Schroeder family found solace on their new farm.
