EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Roy Carlock, a member of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op in Gem County, Idaho, in 1939. Standing proudly in front of his newly built house, Roy embodies the resilience and resourcefulness that defined the American spirit during the Great Depression. Dressed in rugged jeans and a hat that speaks to his rural heritage, Roy exudes strength and determination. As one of the community's finest hunters, he ensures his larder is always stocked with game during hunting season. His expertise not only sustains him but also supports others within the cooperative. The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when cooperation was essential for survival. The co-op system allowed individuals like Roy to pool their resources and skills to overcome economic hardships together. This concept of collective effort shines through as we see other buildings and fences surrounding Roy's home—a testament to unity within this close-knit community. Photographer Dorothea Lange masterfully captures both the physical landscape and human spirit in her work. Her lens reveals an America grappling with adversity yet still finding ways to thrive amidst challenging circumstances. As we admire this powerful image from Lange's collection at the Library of Congress, we are reminded of our shared history—of those who came before us, faced hardship head-on, and found solace in collaboration.
