Tug of War, July 4th Celebration, 1941
Boys' tug of war, Fourth of July celebration. Vale, Oregon. Tug of war is a sport that directly puts two teams against each other in a test of strength. The origins of tug of war are uncertain, but it is beyond dispute that this once royal sport was practiced in ancient Egypt, Greece and China, where it was held in legend that the Sun and Moon played Tug of War over the light and darkness. Photographed by Russell Lee, July 1941.
