DESCRIPTION: In the 1930s, thousands of Dust Bowl refugees journeyed to the Northwest in search of jobs. Some joined the army of migrant workers, others resettled on new farms in the stumplands of former forests, on irrigated deserts. Today most of the stump farms Dorothea Lange photographed in 1939 are second-growth forest. Now most migrant farm laborers are Hispanic; working conditions are still poor, and the children still work. The struggling towns Lange described still seem to be struggling; many businesses cater to the growing Hispanic population.
