EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the heart of Gem County, Idaho. The image captures a member of the Ola self-help cooperative, an individual who played a vital role in sustaining their community during the challenging times of the Great Depression. Dressed in rugged attire that reflects both practicality and resilience, this lumberjack stands tall with an axe in hand. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and determination as he poses against a backdrop of towering logs. The co-op's sawmill looms behind him, symbolizing their collective efforts to overcome economic hardships. Lange's lens skillfully captures not only the physical labor but also the spirit of unity among these men. Their shared purpose is evident through their coordinated clothing choices and unwavering expressions. This portrait serves as a testament to human perseverance amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved by the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, we are reminded of our nation's rich heritage rooted in cooperation and resilience. It prompts us to reflect on how communities can come together during trying times to create sustainable solutions for themselves. Through Lange's lens, this anonymous member becomes an emblematic figure representing countless individuals who worked tirelessly to rebuild America during one of its darkest chapters—the Great Depression—a timeless reminder that strength lies within unity.
