EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Inscription on Monument dedicated to the Copper Miners of Arizona, located in Bisbee. The monument, erected on November 11, 1935, is a tribute to the virile men whose significant contributions to the development of Arizona's wealth and lore through copper mining are celebrated. The monument's inscription reads, "Dedicated to Those Virile Men The Copper Miners," highlighting the physical and laborious nature of their work. The monument, a concrete structure with sculpted figures, stands as a symbol of the mining industry's importance during the 1930s in Arizona, a time marked by the Great Depression and economic recession. Dorothea Lange, a renowned American photographer, captured this image in 1937 as part of her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI). Lange's photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the industrial heritage of the region and the resilience of the men who labored in the copper mines. The monument's inscription continues, "whose Contribution to the Development of the Wealth and Lore of the State of Arizona has been Magnificent," emphasizing the monumental impact of the copper miners on Arizona's history. The statue, often referred to as the "Iron Man," stands proudly, a testament to the strength and determination of the miners who shaped the state's industrial landscape. This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange, is a poignant reminder of the past and the role that the copper mining industry played in Arizona's development. It is a powerful image that encapsulates the spirit of the men who toiled in the mines and the enduring impact of their labor.
