Additional Information
Photographed in August 1942 by Russell Lee, this luminous color image shows a shepherd with his horse and dog on the Gravelly Range in Madison County, Montana. The scene captures a solitary figure amid the sweeping highland landscape where sheep ranching has sustained rural communities for generations.
The Gravelly Range rises above ten thousand feet in southwestern Montana, its alpine meadows providing summer grazing for livestock herded by mounted shepherds and their working dogs. Madison County's ranching heritage stretches back to the mid-nineteenth century, when settlers first brought sheep and cattle to the surrounding grasslands.
Lee was among the most prolific photographers working for the Farm Security Administration, traveling extensively to document rural American life. His rare color images from wartime assignments preserve a remarkably vivid record of the landscapes and working people of the American West during the Second World War.
This magnificent photograph stands as a testament to the enduring traditions of the Western ranching frontier, offering a window into a way of life that has changed little across the high country of Montana. It appeals to collectors of American West photography, Montana heritage, and Depression-era documentary imagery.
