Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cates - A Glimpse into the Resilience of Cow Hollow Farmers in 1930s Oregon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the heart of Malheur County, Oregon. In this powerful image, we see Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cates, two elderly farmers from Cow Hollow who have weathered the storm of the Great Depression. The couple's lined faces tell a story of hardship and determination as they stand side by side on their farmstead. Despite being displaced by economic challenges during this tumultuous era, they epitomize strength and resilience that characterized American farmers at the time. Lange's lens captures not only their weathered appearance but also a sense of pride in their eyes - a testament to their unwavering commitment to tending the land that sustains them. As part of Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), she documented rural America during this period of immense struggle. Through her lens, she shed light on both the hardships faced by these hardworking individuals as well as their indomitable spirit. This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and pays homage to those who persevered against all odds during one of America's darkest chapters – The Great Depression. It stands as an enduring symbol of hope amidst adversity while honoring Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cates' contribution to our nation's agricultural heritage.
