Taylor Dorothea Lange, a renowned photographer, captured the essence of American life during the 1930s. Through her lens, she documented the struggles and triumphs of ordinary people across various regions in America. In Malheur County, Oregon, we see Mrs. Cleaver courageously raising her five sons on a new farm amidst challenging circumstances. Meanwhile, George Cleaver endeavors to develop 177 acres of raw land in the same county. Lange's photographs also take us to Person County, North Carolina where a rail fence with poor barbed wire stands as a testament to hardship. In another poignant image from 1939 by Lange, we glimpse into the lives of hop pickers at their campsite. These individuals work tirelessly to make ends meet and provide for their families. The spirit of cooperation is evident in Yamhill County, Oregon when eight farmers come together to load wagons with corn and transport them to the silo. Lange's lens then takes us to Merrill in Klamath County, Oregon where we witness the harsh reality faced by potato farmers as they store their crop in makeshift cellars. Boundary County, Idaho reveals its challenges through Lange's photographs - from settlers living in shacks on poor sandy soil to partially developed farms like that of the Unruf family. The arduous task of clearing land is depicted through images such as stumps piled high and ready for burning on Cox Farm in Bonner County, Idaho. Through Taylor Dorothea Lange's powerful photography collection from 1939 alone; it becomes clear that she was not just an observer but also an empathetic storyteller who sought to shed light on both struggle and resilience within America during this era.
