EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century in Lac qui Parle County, Minnesota. In the midst of a vast expanse of land, stands Mrs. Beret Hagebak in front of her humble sod house. The image captures the essence of resilience and determination that characterized the era of westward expansion. With a kerchief tied around her head, Mrs. Hagebak sits gracefully on a wooden chair outside her home, embodying strength and grace amidst challenging circumstances. Her weathered face tells tales of hard work and perseverance as she gazes into the distance. The sod house itself is a testament to resourcefulness during this time period. Constructed from layers of soil and grass, it blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings while providing shelter against harsh weather conditions. Photographed by Hugh J. Chalmers in 1896, this image offers us a glimpse into an era marked by pioneering spirits who ventured into uncharted territories seeking new opportunities for themselves and their families. As we admire this photograph today, let us remember those who came before us - individuals like Mrs. Hagebak - whose unwavering spirit laid the foundation for communities that thrive in present-day Minnesota. This piece serves as a reminder of our shared history and the indomitable human spirit that continues to shape our world today.
