. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in October 1939, transports us back to a time when American families faced the challenges of the Great Depression head-on. The image captures a farmer with his family amidst the cut-over land in Priest River Valley, Bonner County, Idaho. In this poignant snapshot of rural life during that era, we witness a father standing tall beside his wife and children.
