OREGON - SAW MILL, 1939. A Glimpse into the Logging Industry's Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1939 in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, it offers a rare glimpse into the bustling world of lumber production during that era. In this particular scene, we witness an early morning at Pelican Bay Lumber Co. , where a pond monkey worker skillfully guides logs from the mill pond to the chute. With his rugged overalls and straw hat shielding him from the sun's rays, he stands tall amidst towering machinery and billowing steam. The image showcases not only the sheer scale of this industrial operation but also highlights human ingenuity in harnessing nature's resources for progress. The worker's presence reminds us that behind every piece of timber lies countless hours of hard work and dedication. Lange masterfully captures both the physicality and atmosphere surrounding this momentous task. From the smoking pipe clenched between our protagonist's teeth to each log carefully maneuvered along its destined path, every detail tells a story of resilience and determination. As we admire this historical photograph today, let us appreciate how far we have come since those early days in Oregon's logging industry. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to preserve our natural resources while honoring those who paved the way for progress through their laborious efforts.
