EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the newly-plowed fields on land belonging to a member of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op in Gem County, Idaho. The image captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression era. In this powerful snapshot, Lange skillfully portrays the cooperative spirit and resilience of these hardworking farmers who came together to overcome economic hardships. The vast expanse of freshly plowed earth symbolizes hope for a better future amidst challenging times. The composition highlights the beauty of the countryside as well as its connection to agricultural livelihoods. The rolling hills and open fields serve as a reminder of our deep-rooted relationship with nature and how it sustains us both physically and economically. Lange's expertise in capturing human emotion is evident here too. Though not visible in this particular photo print, we can imagine members of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op working side by side, united by their shared struggles and aspirations. Their dedication to cooperation reflects an unwavering determination to support one another through difficult circumstances. As we gaze upon this timeless image from our nation's history, we are reminded that even during periods marked by poverty and recession, there is strength in unity. It serves as an enduring testament to community resilience and resourcefulness – values that continue to shape American society today.
