STILL OWNER, c1939 - A Glimpse into the Turpentine Industry in Stateline, Mississippi
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the year 1939, offering a rare glimpse into the life of a turpentine still owner in Stateline, Mississippi. The image showcases an early American actor standing proudly next to his barrel-shaped turpentine still on an exterior farm. During this time period, when America was grappling with the Great Depression and seeking ways to recover from its economic turmoil, initiatives like the New Deal were implemented. This particular photograph was captured by the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document scenes across the country as part of their efforts. The proprietor's stern yet determined expression reflects both resilience and pride amidst challenging times. His presence evokes admiration for those who persevered through hardship while contributing to industries that sustained communities. As we observe this scene from decades past, it serves as a reminder of how different life was during that era in rural areas of the Southeastern United States. It also prompts reflection on our own history and heritage. This print is not just a piece of art but also a historical artifact that allows us to connect with our roots and appreciate the struggles faced by previous generations. Let it serve as a testament to human resilience and determination during difficult times – qualities that continue to inspire us today.
