EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Dead Ox Flat in Malheur County, Oregon. The image captures the resilience and resourcefulness of Mrs. Wardlow during the challenging times of the Great Depression. In this snapshot of history, we see Mrs. Wardlow standing proudly amidst her impressive collection of preserved food in her dugout cellar. With an astonishing 500 quarts neatly arranged on shelves behind her, it is evident that she has dedicated herself to ensuring her family's sustenance through these difficult years. The cellar itself exudes a sense of security and protection with its sturdy walls and dimly lit interior. Mason jars and Kilner jars filled with bottled fruit line the shelves like precious treasures, representing hours of hard work and careful planning. Dorothea Lange's lens not only captures Mrs. Wardlow's determination but also highlights the significance of self-sufficiency during this era. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ability to persevere through adversity while providing for their loved ones. Preserved within this photograph is not just food but also a testament to human strength and ingenuity in times of struggle. It stands as a poignant symbol for all those who faced hardship during the Great Depression - a visual representation of hope amidst despair.
