EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the year 1940 in Pie Town, New Mexico. The image captures Mr. Leatherman, a resilient homesteader emerging from his humble dugout home. As he steps out into the open, one can't help but admire the strength and determination etched on his weathered face. The simplicity of Mr. Leatherman's dwelling is evident as we observe the log exterior of his dugout against the vast New Mexican landscape. The wooden structure stands proudly amidst its surroundings, a testament to human resilience in an unforgiving environment. Photographed by Russell Lee in October 1940 as part of an American documentary project, this image encapsulates the spirit of self-sufficiency that defined many homesteaders during this era.
