Afternoon Basement Caption Dead Dugout Flat Hull Oregon Malheur
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mrs. Hull is seen sitting in the dimly lit, one-room basement dugout home in Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. The image, captured in October 1939, depicts a scene of simple living and resilience that was common in rural America during the late 1930s. The dugout home, a common type of dwelling in the arid regions of the American West, was carved into the side of a hill to provide shelter from the harsh elements. The room, sparsely furnished with a wooden table, chair, and a few personal belongings, appears cozy and inviting despite its modest appearance. Mrs. Hull, dressed in a simple, long-sleeved blouse and a skirt, looks out of the frame, her expression thoughtful and contemplative. The late afternoon sun filters in through the small window, casting a warm glow on the scene. The image captures the essence of the American spirit of self-sufficiency and determination in the face of adversity. The dugout home, built with hard work and ingenuity, represents a connection to the land and a deep understanding of the natural world. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when life was simpler, and people relied on their own resources to survive. It also highlights the resilience and strength of individuals like Mrs. Hull, who made the best of their circumstances and found comfort and solace in the simplest of surroundings. The image, with its timeless quality and evocative storytelling, is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture a moment in history and preserve it for future generations.
