The Daugherty Family - A Glimpse into the Lives of FSA Borrowers during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, offers a poignant snapshot of the Daugherty family. Hailing from the Warm Springs district in Malheur County, Oregon, they were among many families affected by the economic hardships of the era. In this group portrait, we see a father figure standing tall with pride alongside his wife and their children. The worn expressions on their faces reflect the struggles they endured as agricultural workers during this challenging time. Surrounding them are horses - symbols of both labor and companionship - which played an integral role in their daily lives. Lange's composition beautifully captures not only individual personalities but also conveys a sense of unity within this close-knit family unit. The presence of babies and young children evokes feelings of hope for future generations amidst adversity. As part of President Roosevelt's Farm Security Administration (FSA) borrowers program, these hardworking individuals sought assistance to sustain their livelihoods during one of America's darkest periods – The Great Depression. This image serves as a reminder that behind every statistic lies real people with dreams, aspirations, and unwavering determination to provide for their loved ones. Preserved within the archives at Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, Lange's work continues to be celebrated as an invaluable documentation capturing American history through her lens.
