Camping in the United States has, at times, been by necessity rather than recreational choice.
This tent is in a blueberry picker camp near Little Fork, Minnesota, August 1937. It was photographed by Russell Lee, staff photographer in a U.S. agency called the Resettlement Administration (in operation 1935 – 1937).

I’ve created a Pinterest pin board called Great Depression and have pinned all of the large images from my “Eyes of the Great Depression” series, as well as a few other Great Depression images I’ve posted. At some point, I plan to return to the Eyes series and do some other posts related to the Great Depression. There are many thousands of images from the period that are in the public domain.
