Russell Lee - Pie Town

Russell Lee stopped in Pie Town, New Mexico in 1940 and did a series of photos of community events there. Among these were some color slides. Some of these photos have appeared in previous sets here but I wanted to post all the Pie Town photos I have (there are more) in one place.

The black-and-white photos are posted today. Come back tomorrow for the color photos!
