NEW MEXICO - DUGOUT, 1940. John Adams Preserving History in Pie Town
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken by Russell Lee in 1940, we are transported back to the heart of the Great Depression era in New Mexico. The image showcases a determined man named John Adams diligently stacking pinon poles that were salvaged from a dugout being torn down. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we witness Adams' unwavering commitment to preserving his heritage and way of life amidst challenging circumstances. With each carefully placed pole, he pays homage to the rugged spirit of homesteaders who settled these lands. The log cabin-style dugout stands as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness during an era marked by economic hardship. Its exterior reflects both simplicity and strength, mirroring the character of those who called it home. Lee's masterful composition captures not only the physical labor involved but also hints at Adam's deep connection with his surroundings - the vast expanse of New Mexican landscape stretching out behind him. It is through images like these that we gain insight into daily life during this transformative period in American history. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there are individuals like John Adams who persevere, honoring their roots while building a future for themselves and their communities.
