This document contains information about two primary sources and two secondary sources related to the Dust Bowl and Great Depression era. The primary sources are the photograph "Migrant Mother" by Dorothea Lange, and a book by Lange called "Dorothea Lange: The Crucial Years, 1930-1946". The secondary sources are a Library of Congress page about a home in Oregon during the Dust Bowl, and an Illinois library page about the book on Lange's photography career. The secondary sources help provide context and interpretation for the primary sources by offering background on the time period and subjects depicted over 50 years later.

1. Primary and Secondary Sources Worksheet
Destitute Pea Pickers in California. Mother of Seven Children. Age Thirty-
Two. Nipomo, California.
Other title: Migrant Mother
Dorothea Lange (photographer)
Observations and Reflections:
This is a photograph currently held in the Library of Congress Digital
Repository.
Dorothea Lange created this photograph.
The photograph adds to my understanding of the Dust Bowl by providing a
human element to the event. You can see the worry in the woman’s face.
Dorothea Lange: The Crucial Years, 1930-1946
Dorothea Lange, Richard Keith Doud, and Oliva Maria Rubio
Observations and Reflections:
This is a book written by Lange herself, and Richard Keith Doud and Oliva
Maria Rubio.
This book was published around 50 years after the event/initial release of the
photograph, Migrant Mother.
This book provides an in-depth look at Dorothea Lange’s photography during
the period in which Migrant Mother was taken. It would help provide a context
to the photograph, as well as provide some general information about the Dust
Bowl and the California Migration.
