Ladies of the Morning: 1940
August 1940. "Two women living on the main street of Upper Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania." Acetate negative by Jack Delano for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Jim Thorpe PA
Mauch Chunk was later renamed Jim Thorpe after the great American athlete. He won medals in the Olympics and played multiple sports both amateur and professional. He was a Native American who was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation. Thanks for the photos. I really enjoy them.
