Pond Monkey Channels Log Raft - A Glimpse into the American Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported to Keno, a small town nestled in the heart of Klamath County, Oregon. The image showcases a remarkable scene where a man, known as a 'pond monkey', skillfully navigates his way through the treacherous waters of the river on a log raft. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes evident that this image is not merely about an individual's daily routine but rather serves as a poignant representation of an era plagued by economic turmoil - the Great Depression. Lange's lens captures not only the physical labor involved in logging but also symbolizes resilience and determination amidst adversity. The man featured here stands tall against nature's forces while donning denim clothing - perhaps reflecting both practicality and fashion choices of that era. His gloved hands firmly grasp onto ropes securing logs together, showcasing his expertise in maneuvering these floating timber bundles downstream for industrial use. Lange's photographic prowess allows us to witness firsthand how industries like logging played crucial roles during those challenging times. This particular print from her collection serves as an invaluable historical document preserved within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration archives. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of America's heritage rooted deeply within its industrious spirit and unwavering resolve even during periods marked by recession and hardship.
