EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment when Martha White, a determined and stylish woman, drives the first spike in the government railway between the 1900s and the 1930s. The image, taken during the construction of a railway line in Alaska, United States, showcases Martha proudly posing with a hammer in hand, surrounded by a group of men in various stages of railroad construction. Dressed in a fashionable coat and dress, Martha's confident and poised demeanor stands out against the rugged backdrop of the railway tracks and the raw, untamed wilderness of the Alaskan terrain. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken between the 1910s and the 1930s, is a testament to the spirit of progress and innovation during this era in American history. The railways played a crucial role in connecting the country, enabling the transportation of goods and people across vast distances, and facilitating the growth of industries and communities. This evocative image, which is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the fusion of fashion, technology, and human endeavor that characterized the early 20th century in America. The photograph is a reminder of the rich heritage and history that continues to shape our world today.
