EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases a member of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op standing proudly outside what was once the "Jacknife Saloon" in Gem County, Idaho. The building itself is a testament to the early days of Idaho, with its rustic charm and historical significance. In its heyday, this establishment served as a popular stop for stagecoaches, providing travelers with refreshments and an opportunity to change horses. However, this practice came to an end in 1914. Lange's lens captures not only the physical structure but also the essence of rural life during America's Great Depression era. The image exudes a sense of resilience amidst adversity as it portrays a member of the co-op who has found solace within these walls that hold both personal history and community spirit. Through her photography, Lange documents not just buildings but also economic struggles and regional heritage. This particular print now resides within the Library of Congress' collection as part of Lange's significant body of work commissioned by various government agencies during this time period. As we gaze upon this poignant image today, we are transported back to an era defined by poverty and recession while simultaneously reminded of human perseverance and determination. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of hardship, communities can come together to support one another through cooperative efforts such as self-help organizations like Ola sawmill co-op.
