EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a slice of American history during the Livestock Trade in 1940. The image showcases a bustling scene on Jockey Street in Campton, Wolfe County, Kentucky. Mountaineers and farmers gather together to engage in the age-old tradition of trading mules and horses. The Great Depression had left its mark on rural communities across America, but this snapshot reveals resilience and determination as these hardworking individuals come together to sustain their livelihoods. Marion Wolcott Post's lens beautifully freezes this moment in time, allowing us to witness the camaraderie among these men. A dirt road stretches before them, symbolizing the challenges they face daily while navigating through life's obstacles. In the background, an old-fashioned automobile stands as a testament to progress amidst adversity. As we delve into this photograph further, we notice a sign that reads "Southeast Town" reminding us of the regional significance of this trade hub. This gathering serves not only as an economic exchange but also as an opportunity for social interaction within their tight-knit community. Post's composition perfectly encapsulates both hope and hardship experienced during this era marked by President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at revitalizing America. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our nation's past and appreciate the strength found within ordinary people striving for better days ahead.
