EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases the ingenuity and resilience of the farmers at Ola self-help sawmill co-op in Gem County, Idaho. The image features a sawmill carriage and log turner skillfully crafted by these hardworking individuals. In an era marked by economic hardship and the Great Depression, this cooperative effort symbolizes the power of community and cooperation. The men depicted wear traditional bib overalls, reflecting their practical approach to work attire. Their clothing is a testament to their dedication as they laboriously operate the machinery that drives this small-scale lumberyard. Lange's lens captures not only the physicality of their job but also hints at the camaraderie shared among them. These lumberjacks embody a sense of pride as they navigate through challenging times with determination etched on their faces. The setting appears to be an indoor office space within the mill where decisions are made collectively for this self-sustaining venture. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, communities can come together to find innovative solutions for survival. Dorothea Lange's powerful documentation during her time with Farm Security Administration sheds light on American history while preserving moments like these for future generations. Through her lens, we witness both individual stories and broader concepts such as cooperation and heritage artistry that continue to resonate today.
