A modest mountain shack on Barnett's Creek in Kentucky is the subject here, and the caption names the place and the drought as its context. Lewis Hine made the photograph while documenting Red Cross drought relief in the region during 1930 and 1931, when failed harvests left many rural families short of food and cash. Pictures like this one helped relief workers and the public see the poor conditions that aid was meant to address. The caption details come from an unverified card, so the exact location and date should be read as approximate.
