In his 2012 article and interview with Margaretta Mitchell, Mike Cassidy (Bay Area News Group) wrote about his own experience of Steep Ravine:
“Some of the photos were by Dorothea Lange, famous for her searing photos of the Great Depression. My family had visited the place a half-dozen times, but I had no idea. Dorothea Lange? At Steep Ravine? Other photographs were by Margaretta Mitchell, who wrote that she worked to complete and publish the book after Lange died. “Lange would have wanted someone to finish it,” Mitchell explained. “She often talked of producing just such a book, but in the end she ran out of time.”
