Another great glimpse into a difficult past. Although a lot of these people didn't have much, there were those who had each other and a lot of love and that makes all the difference.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

This young lady, Lois Adolf, is #004 in the series "Eyes of the Great Depression." In 1939, Lois Adolf's family was "on relief." Her father had borrowed money from the Farm Security Administration (FSA) for rural rehabilitation, "$2,138. 80 acres of Indian land, on three year lease." In August, a photographer from FSA doing documentary work visited. That photographer was Dorothea Lange. "One of Chris Adolph's younger children. Farm Security Administration Rehabilitation clients. Came to the Yakima Valley in 1937 from Bethune, Kit Carson County, Colorado. He owned his own farm there and he had lived there all his life. Drought forced him out with his wife and 8 children. His wife had been a school teacher... 'I've broke thousands of acres of sod. The dust got so bad that we had to sleep with wet cloths over our faces.'" Besides the photo that became one of the iconic images of the Great Depression, Lois appears in several other photos Lange took on her brief visit with the Adolfs. Bill Ganzel located Lois in 1979 and interviewed her for "Dust Bowl Descent," a grant project administered by the Nebraska State Historical Society. "Lois didn't remember the photograph being taken, let alone why she might have felt sad (I'm thinking she may have been looking at Lange's car... you can see the shadow of Lange's head in the bottom right). She remembered being close to her mother. But she also remembered how terrible the dust storms in Colorado were. She remembered how hard it was to make a living." Lois's father, Chris Adolf, told Ms. Lange, "My father made me work. That was his mistake, he made me work too hard. I learned about farming but nothing out of the books."

Again a perfect match with 'Nik' and you, Rob.
'Nik''s comment isn't only detailed but also amazing and makes me curious how he has obtained this specific knowledge. Both ('Nik''s comment and your perfect colorization) give the photo a different dimension so that it can turn into a time document for a wide audience.
Excellently done by both of you! Kudos!

The expression on the girls' face certainly leaves one to wonder what she is thinking or looking at...and Nik's research adds a lot...well done on the vintage coloring, Rob.
