LUMBERJACKS, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Resilience of American Workers during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a group of five rugged lumberjacks from the Ola self-help sawmill cooperative in Gem County, Idaho. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in October 1939, this image provides a window into the lives of hardworking men who relied on their strength and determination to survive during one of America's darkest periods. Intriguingly, these lumberjacks stand proudly beside an assortment of tools that symbolize their trade - axes, saws, and other implements necessary for felling trees and transforming them into valuable timber. Their weathered faces tell stories of long hours spent laboring under challenging conditions in order to support themselves and their families. The presence of a truck nearby hints at progress amidst adversity; it represents how technology was gradually making its way into rural industries like logging. This shift towards mechanization would eventually transform the face of manual labor forever. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives aimed at revitalizing the nation's economy, cooperatives like this one provided hope for struggling communities across America. The Ola self-help sawmill cooperative exemplified collective effort as individuals came together to pool resources and share responsibilities. Dorothea Lange's powerful lens immortalizes not only these brave lumberjacks but also serves as a testament to the resilience and spirit that defined Americans during this era
