EDITORS COMMENTS

In this poignant photograph taken by Russell Lee in 1940, we witness the indomitable spirit of Mrs. Caudill and her daughter as they carry household equipment to their new dugout in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image encapsulates the essence of homesteading life during that era. Dressed in humble clothing and donning wide-brimmed hats to shield themselves from the scorching sun, this mother-daughter duo epitomizes strength and determination amidst challenging circumstances. Their faces radiate both hope for a better future and nostalgia for what they have left behind. The rugged exterior of their new dwelling reflects the harsh yet beautiful landscape that characterizes rural Southwest America.

Through his lens, he immortalizes not only Mrs. Caudill's unwavering resolve but also pays homage to all those who shaped the history of New Mexico.
