EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1940, we are transported back to the charming town of Pie Town, New Mexico. The image showcases a hardworking homesteader named Mrs. Norris amidst her bountiful cabbage crop. With an apron tied around her waist and a straw hat shielding her from the midday sun, she stands proudly next to rows of vibrant green cabbages. The photograph captures the essence of rural life during that era, with Mrs. Norris diligently cutting through a fresh head of cabbage using a sharp knife. Her weathered hands tell stories of countless hours spent tending to the soil on her farm. Russell Lee's expert lens beautifully captures the simplicity and resilience of this unknown woman as she works outside in the vast Southwest landscape. This snapshot provides us with a glimpse into the daily lives of homesteaders who relied on their agricultural skills for sustenance. As we admire this timeless piece, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both history and artistry. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our ability to cultivate life from its very roots. Let us celebrate these unsung heroes like Mrs. Norris who shaped communities through their unwavering dedication to farming in America's heartland.
