EDITORS COMMENTS
More than Twenty-Five Years a Bindle-Stiff: A Portrait of Resilience and Perseverance in the Great Depression-Era Napa Valley, California This evocative photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, presents a poignant image of a weary bindle-stiff, his worldly possessions bundled up in a worn bindle as he makes his way through the picturesque vineyards of Napa Valley, California. The man, whose face bears the lines of hardship and the weight of countless miles traveled, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the itinerant workers who formed the backbone of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) during the Great Depression. The bindle-stiff, or hobo, was a common sight during this era, as countless men and women migrated from one job to another, seeking employment and sustenance in the face of widespread poverty and economic hardship. This man, with his worn clothing and meager possessions, embodies the struggles and sacrifices of the millions who were forced to wander the roads in search of work during the Great Depression. The photograph was taken during a time when the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI) were documenting the realities of life in America during the Depression. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image as part of her extensive work for the FSA, which aimed to provide a visual record of the social and economic conditions of the time. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Great Depression and the indelible mark it left on the American psyche.
