"Capturing the Stories: Telegraph Poles Through Time" Step back in time to an Essex village, Ongar High Street, 1943, where telegraph poles stood tall as witnesses to history. (An Essex Village: Ongar High Street, 1943. Creator: E. Eason) From the bustling streets of West Drayton in Australia's wildlife series to Station Road's charm in Circa 1935, these poles connected communities across continents. (Australian Wildlife Series) (Station Road, West Drayton, Circa 1935) In the midst of war and turmoil, Winnats Pass witnessed it all with stoic resilience. Dix02_01_029 captures its unwavering presence amidst chaos. (Winnats Pass DIX02_01_029) As Sherman marched to the sea in 1868, engraving immortalized his journey along with the steadfast telegraph poles that lined his path. (Shermans March to the Sea, pub. 1868 (engraving)) Dorothea Lange's lens transported us through time and space - from Tulelake's town pump at a railroad yard in Siskiyou County to a passing motorist lending a helping hand in California's heartland. (Town pump of Tulelake at railroad yard, Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California, 1939) (Passing motorist gives walking family of seven a lift to the next town, California, 1939. ) These same poles bore witness as families traversed highways during times of hardship - homeless yet resilient on U. S Highway 99 near Brawley or overlooking stockyards between Tulare and Fresno. (Homeless family of seven walking the highway. . On U. S. 99, near Brawley, Imperial County, 1939. ) (Stockyards seen from overpass Between Tulare and Fresno, California, 1939.
