EDITORS COMMENTS
A Glimpse into the Resilience of an Old Idaho Family: Gem County, 1939". In this powerful photograph captured by Dorothea Lange, we witness a significant moment in the life of a descendant from an old Idaho family. The image transports us to Gem County during the challenging times of the Great Depression. The subject stands proudly in front of his new house, a symbol of hope and progress amidst economic turmoil. As a member of Ola self-help sawmill co-op, he was able to secure lumber supplied by the mill for his home construction. The board lumber charges amounted to around sixty-six dollars while windows and doors required an additional thirty-five dollars. Lange's lens reveals not only the man but also highlights the tangible evidence of hard work and determination. A pile of lumber can be seen in his yard, representing countless hours spent building their dreams from scratch. This photograph serves as a testament to cooperation and community spirit prevailing even during difficult times. It showcases how individuals came together through cooperative efforts like Ola self-help sawmill co-op to support one another and rebuild their lives. Through her lens, Lange captures both poverty-stricken rural landscapes and stories that inspire resilience. This particular image is no exception; it encapsulates not just one man's journey towards stability but also reflects upon America's collective struggle during this era. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, there is always room for growth, unity, and hope for brighter days ahead.
