EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a husky member of a construction crew diligently working on building a new 33,000-volt electric power line into Fort Knox during the year 1942. The significance of this project lies in its crucial role in supporting the war effort. With thousands of soldiers undergoing training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, an enhanced power supply was necessary to meet their needs. The image showcases the determination and dedication of American workers during World War II. This unnamed worker is seen wearing his cap and headgear while engaged in this vital task. The photograph's vibrant colors add depth to the scene, highlighting both the man's physical strength and the magnitude of his mission. Alfred T Palmer skillfully captured this moment as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). His work serves as a testament to America's commitment to providing essential resources for its armed forces. As we admire this historic image from our nation's past, it reminds us not only of the sacrifices made by those who served but also emphasizes how infrastructure played an integral role in supporting military operations. This particular photograph now resides within the Congressional Library archives, serving as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks like constructing power lines held immense importance during times of war.
