EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MINNESOTA: LOGGING, 1937" takes us back in time to a bygone era. The image captures the essence of hard work and resilience during the Great Depression in rural Minnesota. In this snapshot, we witness an early form of transportation for timber as a horse-drawn sled makes its way across dry ground at a lumber camp near Effie. The scene is filled with activity as a lumberjack guides the majestic horses through the forest, their strength harnessed to pull heavy loads of logs. The man's rugged appearance reflects his dedication to his craft and the demanding nature of logging work. Russell Lee's expert photography freezes this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those involved in Minnesota's logging industry. The wooden planks stacked on the sled serve as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness amidst difficult times. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how industries like logging played crucial roles in shaping America during the New Deal era. It serves as a powerful reminder that even during times of economic hardship, individuals persevered through hard labor while relying on traditional methods such as horse-drawn transportation. Overall, this evocative image transports us back to an important chapter in American history when men worked tirelessly against all odds to build our nation from its natural resources.
