Unit no. 32 of Yamhill Farms, Oregon - A Glimpse into Rural Life during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939 offers a poignant snapshot of Unit no. 32 at Yamhill Farms, Oregon. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented the struggles and resilience of American farmers during one of the darkest periods in U. S. history. In this image, we see a scene that tells a story of perseverance amidst adversity. The foreground showcases an under-construction silo, symbolizing progress and hope for better days ahead. To its left stands a modest five-room house, representing both shelter and dreams for a brighter future. Further back on the property is a twelve-cow dairy barn, highlighting the importance of agriculture as not only sustenance but also economic stability within rural communities. The presence of firewood suggests self-sufficiency despite limited resources. Lange's composition captures more than just physical structures; it encapsulates an entire way of life shaped by hardship and determination. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring spirit found in rural America during times marked by economic recession and social upheaval. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this image continues to evoke emotions while offering valuable insights into our nation's past – reminding us to appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those who paved the way through their unwavering strength and resilience.
