EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Oregon's lumber industry in 1942. The image showcases a truck loaded with massive ponderosa pine logs, destined for the Edward Hines Lumber Co. Located in Malheur National Forest, Grant County, Oregon, this scene depicts the tireless efforts of loggers during a time when logging played a crucial role in America's economy. Photographed by Russell Lee in July 1942 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this image reflects both the early days of American industrialization and the impact of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies on rural communities. The towering pine trees symbolize not only nature's grandeur but also man's ability to harness its resources for economic growth. The mid-20th-century exterior setting reminds us that progress often comes at a cost. While this photo does not mention commercial use explicitly, it serves as a reminder of how industries like logging shaped our nation's history and landscape. Russell Lee masterfully captured this moment in time, showcasing both the sheer scale of these timber operations and their significance to local economies. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on America's past while appreciating the natural beauty found within Malheur National Forest.
