Description

Because I was born in 1941, at the very end of the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941), I have no personal memories of the those years. But 65 years later, I can still recall the things my parents told of their lives during those years.The things mom and dad experienced during the "Great Depression" shaped the rest of their lives. They lived according to economic and moral rules that they fashioned for themselves, based on their Depression-era experiences. "Don't buy anything on time; don't pay interest." "Waste not, want not." My mother had ten brothers and sisters. When mom's mother died, the older siblings began to take care of those who were younger. And when the older siblings got old, the younger siblings in turn took care of them.By the time, I decided to write accounts of the "Great Depression," my parents were gone. And then one day, for no special reason, I decided to collect tales of the "Great Depression." The thirty accounts found in this book, are the thirty stories that I like best of the accounts that I have gathered over the last 30 years. This book tells the stories of thirty ordinary Americans who lived through the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941).
