"Capturing the Essence of Oregon: A Glimpse into its Rich History and Vibrant Landscapes" Step back in time to 1939, where Mrs. Cleaver fearlessly raises her five sons on a new farm in Malheur County, Oregon. Through the lens of Dorothea Lange's camera, we witness their determination and resilience as they navigate life on raw land. Meanwhile, George Cleaver endeavors to develop 177 acres of untamed beauty in the same county. His unwavering spirit reflects the pioneering nature that defines this great state. Oregon's natural wonders are not forgotten either. Behold Mount Hood majestically rising from the Columbia River, an awe-inspiring sight captured by Robert Hinshelwood in 1872. Its snow-capped peak stands as a symbol of both grandeur and tranquility. In Milton-Freewater, Oregon in 1941, Russell Lee documents a bustling canning plant where peas become the principal project. This snapshot showcases the industriousness and agricultural prowess that have long been synonymous with this region. Moving eastward to Grant County in 1942, Russell Lee captures scenes that epitomize Oregon's diverse landscapes - from truckloads of ponderosa pine harvested by Edward Hines Lumber Co. , to horse breeding ranches nestled amidst breathtaking surroundings. Venturing further into Grant County's Malheur National Forest reveals a stand of virgin ponderosa pine untouched by human hands until Russell Lee immortalized it through his lens. These images remind us of our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations. Dorothea Lange returns us to 1939 with her enigmatic photograph titled "[Hop pickers camp?]. " It invites contemplation about laborers who worked tirelessly during harvest season while offering glimpses into their daily lives within these temporary communities. Finally, we witness Yamhill County farmers coming together as one cohesive unit under Dorothea Lange's watchful eye.
