Night Riders: 1942
September 1942. "Boys sleeping as best they can on special train from Richwood, West Virginia, to upper New York state to work in the harvest." 4x5 inch acetate negative by John Collier for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Pretzelly
I bet those teens woke up, stretched once, and got on with their day. If I slept like that now, I wouldn't be able to move for a week!
Unconscious, but conscientious?
I was friends with a man who was a conscientious objector in WW2. He was sent to a farm in New York to work the harvest. I wonder if that's what has the lads leaving the almost heaven land of West Virginia.
[Um, no. These are boys not men. - Dave]
