George Cleaver - A Visionary Farmer in the Heart of Oregon's Raw Land
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases George Cleaver amidst his ambitious endeavor to develop 177 acres of untouched land in Malheur County, Oregon. Standing tall with a cigarette casually dangling from his lips, George exudes determination and resilience. With five sons by his side, George epitomizes the American spirit of hard work and perseverance. Clad in denim overalls and a weathered cowboy hat that speaks volumes about his rugged lifestyle, he represents the quintessential image of an agricultural pioneer during this era. Lange's lens skillfully captures not only the man but also the machinery that played a crucial role in transforming raw land into fertile fields. The McCormick-Deering machine stands as a testament to industrial progress and mechanization within farming practices. In this poignant snapshot from history, we witness both the physical labor required for such an undertaking and its economic implications during the Great Depression. As part of President Roosevelt's Farm Security Administration initiative, this photograph serves as documentation for future generations to understand how individuals like George Cleaver contributed to rebuilding America's economy during one of its most challenging times. Preserved within the Library of Congress' archives, Lange's powerful composition allows us to reflect on our nation's heritage while appreciating those who shaped it through their unwavering dedication to agriculture and land development.
