EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of resilience and unity during a time of great hardship. Taken in 1939 by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, it showcases one of the thirty-six members of the Ola self-help sawmill co-op in Gem County, Idaho. The image exudes a sense of strength as this lumberjack stands tall amidst his fellow workers. Dressed in rugged attire, including jeans and work boots, these men epitomize hard labor and determination. Their weathered faces tell stories of struggle and perseverance during the Great Depression era. Through cooperative efforts, they were able to find solace in their shared occupation. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only their physical appearance but also their spirit. Each man poses with pride, embodying the concept of cooperation that defined this self-help sawmill co-op. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of community support during challenging times. Displayed against an outdoor backdrop, surrounded by nature's beauty, these individuals symbolize hope amid poverty. Lange's masterful composition highlights both individuality and collective strength within this close-knit group. Preserved for posterity at the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this image is a poignant reminder that even in times of adversity, human resilience can prevail through unity and cooperation.
