EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Russell Lee in 1940, we are transported to the picturesque town of Pie Town, New Mexico. The image showcases Bill Stagg, a hardworking farmer turning up pinto beans with the help of his trusty mule. As we observe from a distance, Stagg's back view reveals his dedication and commitment to his agricultural work. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling clouds that add depth and drama to the composition. The vibrant colors captured by Lee bring out the beauty of the rural landscape and highlight the importance of agriculture in America during this era. This photograph not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to the farming methods employed in mid-20th century America. It offers us an insight into the lives of farm laborers like Stagg who played an essential role in sustaining our country's agricultural heritage. Russell Lee's skillful use of color and composition allows us to appreciate both the rustic charm of rural life and the significance of hard work on farmland. This still image preserved by the Library of Congress through its Farm Security Administration program provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter in American history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but feel connected to our nation's past while admiring Stagg's determination amidst nature's unpredictable weather conditions.
