Family in Tent After Supper October 1939 Oregon

In October 1939, a family of six sits in a tent after supper, reflecting the challenges of the Great Depression. They traveled from Boise, Idaho, to Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon, for the potato harvest after the father lost his job with the Work Projects Administration. The oldest child is twelve, and one sibling suffers from dysentery. This image documents the resilience of American families during a difficult era.
