EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases the Squaw Valley farm, a vast expanse of land spanning 640 acres in Gem County, Idaho. With sixty acres dedicated to tillable land, this farm primarily focuses on livestock raising. Established around fifty years ago, it stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of American agriculture. In the foreground of the image, we notice small buildings with shacks attached to them. These humble structures serve as a reminder of the challenging times during the Great Depression when poverty was widespread. The Ola self-help sawmill co-op played an essential role in supporting this farm by supplying shingles for its barn and grainery. A pile of new lumber can be seen nearby, waiting to be put into use at the mill. Lange's photography skillfully captures not only the physical landscape but also conveys deeper themes such as cooperation and resilience. This image serves as a historical document representing rural America during a time marked by economic recession. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this photograph is part of Lange's remarkable body of work that documented various aspects of American life during her career with both Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). It stands as an invaluable piece showcasing our nation's heritage while reminding us about our collective journey through difficult times towards progress and prosperity.
