DUGOUT HOME, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Drought-Stricken Farm Couple
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the harsh reality faced by a farm couple during the Great Depression. Taken in October 1939 by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases a husband and wife standing in the doorway of their dugout basement home in Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon. The couple's weary expressions tell tales of hardship and resilience as they confront the devastating effects of drought on their once-thriving Oklahoma farm. The man stands tall, wearing suspenders and a worn-out hat that speaks volumes about his determination to provide for his family despite overwhelming circumstances. His weathered hands tightly grip a shovel—a symbol of both laborious work and hope for better days ahead. Beside him stands his wife, dressed modestly in an old-fashioned barrel dress. She clutches onto a jug—an essential item for survival—representing her resourcefulness amidst scarcity. Together, they stand united against adversity, seeking refuge within this humble shelter provided by the New Deal resettlement program. Dorothea Lange's lens captures not only their physical presence but also conveys their emotional strength through her masterful composition. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the countless families who were forced to leave behind everything they knew in search of new beginnings during this era marked by poverty and migration.
