EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases a remarkable display of ingenuity and resourcefulness on an Oregon farm. The image depicts a wagon built entirely from salvaged parts of a wrecked Dodge truck. Located in Kirby, Josephine County, this adaptation exemplifies the spirit of American agriculture during the Great Depression. In an era marked by economic hardship and scarcity, farmers like those in Kirby had to find innovative ways to make do with limited resources. This photograph captures their determination to overcome adversity through creative problem-solving. By repurposing materials from the wrecked vehicle, they were able to construct a horse-drawn wagon that could haul three times more than before. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia for rural life and highlights the significance of farming as an essential part of American heritage. It serves as a testament to the resilience and perseverance exhibited by individuals during challenging times. Dorothea Lange's expertise behind the lens beautifully captures this scene, emphasizing both the rustic charm of country living and the importance of regionalism in shaping America's identity. Through her photography for government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented not only historical moments but also human stories that resonate even today. This photograph is now preserved within the Congressional Library's collection at The Library of Congress, serving as a powerful reminder of our nation's past struggles while celebrating its ability to adapt and innovate in times of need.
