Scope and content
Photograph showing unidentified people looking through debris at the site of a burned home in Bandon, Oregon, on Tuesday, September 29, 1936. The town was destroyed by wildfire on Saturday, September 26, 1936. A cropped version of this photograph was published on the front page of the Oregon Journal on Tuesday, September 29, 1936, under the headline “Pitiful Sight in Fire-Ravaged Bandon.” The photograph had the following caption: “One of the hundreds of Bandon families today searching the ruins of their former homes, hoping to find something worth salvaging. The ruins have just cooled sufficiently to permit inspection. A few residents, with tear-stained eyes, are treading the ruins with extreme care, fearful they may step on the dead form of a missing relative.” Image note: The text “x12” is written on the negative and is visible in the lower right corner of the image.
