From north to south, east to west, these memoirs are a testimony to the devastating years following the stock market crash of 1929. As seen through the eyes and memories of the young, a common thread weaves between the lines of these fascinating accounts that social class distinctions fell away because everyone was in the same boat. To capture the flavor of the time, these stories remain almost as they were submitted. A sample of the regions covered are: Houston, Port Arthur, LaGrange, Victoria, Waco, Palestine and Grapeland, Texas; Frederick, Hastings and Fay, Oklahoma; Shreveport, LA; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Natchez, Mississippi; Sioux Mission in North Dakota; Cumberland Mountains in Kentucky; An Illinois farm; Indiana; Saginaw, Michigan; Buffalo and Albany, New York; Newark, New Jersey; Spain.

FOR STUDENTS OF RESEARCH, HISTORY, OR FOR JUST REMINISCING, THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY READ.
