EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and determination of an FSA borrower who made a new home on the Priest River Peninsula in Idaho during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, this image showcases a log house and various buildings that were constructed by the borrower six years prior. Despite facing economic hardships, this individual managed to secure a $315 land-clearing loan, which enabled them to clear enough hay between stumps to feed their livestock throughout the harsh winter of 1938. The photo depicts eight cows, three calves, and two horses grazing peacefully nearby. Lange's composition emphasizes both the rustic charm of rural America and the stark reality of poverty during this era. The dilapidated car parked outside serves as a reminder of limited transportation options available at that time. Through her lens, Lange captured not only physical structures but also intangible aspects such as perseverance and hope amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph stands as a testament to the strength exhibited by individuals who faced adversity head-on while striving for better lives for themselves and their families. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, this image is part of Lange's extensive documentation for Farm Security Administration (FSA) projects aimed at assisting struggling farmers across America during one of its most trying periods.
