EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange, titled "Priest River Valley, where many settlers grow hay between the stumps" takes us back to Bonner County, Idaho in 1939. The image showcases a scene of resilience and determination amidst the hardships of the Great Depression. In this rural landscape, we witness settlers working tirelessly to cultivate their land despite the challenges they face. The remnants of cleared trees stand as stark reminders of the cutover forests that once dominated this area. Yet, these determined individuals have found a way to grow hay between the stumps, showcasing their resourcefulness and adaptability. Lange's composition beautifully captures both the harshness and beauty of this countryside. The vast expanse stretches out before us with rolling hills and open fields dotted with stumps. It is a testament to human perseverance in even the most challenging circumstances. Through her lens, Lange not only documents an important moment in American history but also sheds light on themes such as poverty, regionalism, and rural life during this era. Her work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) provides invaluable insight into the lives of ordinary people struggling through economic recession. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, we are reminded of our shared heritage and how communities come together to overcome adversity. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst hardship there is always hope for growth and renewal.
