EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange, titled "Shows method of pulling tomarack stump, Bonner County, Idaho, 1939" takes us back to a defining era in American history. The image showcases the ingenuity and resilience of the people during the Great Depression. In this rural setting, a man wearing bib overalls stands beside an enormous tomarack stump. He demonstrates a unique technique for removing it from the ground. With focused determination, he drills a hole into the stubborn wood using an auger. A wooden box nearby holds dynamite powder, fuse caps, and wire - tools that will aid in his task. Lange's lens captures not only this practical demonstration but also provides us with glimpses of life in 1930s America. The man's attire reflects the fashion clothing worn by farmers at that time - durable dungarees or bib overalls suited for their laborious work on farms. The photograph is part of Lange's extensive documentation under the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during her tenure as one of its photographers. Through her lens, she aimed to shed light on economic struggles faced by Americans during this period. As we observe this historic image today, we are reminded of our nation's heritage and how individuals like these persevered through challenging times. It serves as a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness amidst adversity – qualities that continue to shape our country today.
