Their noses can smell the freshly brewed coffee and the hot doughnuts as they are served to the men ahead of them. One by one, the men enter the kitchen, have a quick bite to eat, and then head out to the street. They fan out and go from business to business, looking for work. At the end of the day, they come back here to this line and wait their turn for a small bowl of soup. And so begins the fascinating history of the Great Depression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book CHILD OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION, I try to recapture and revive the lore of the enduring legacy of Powellville. My, but there are so many things to remember: riding atop a load of tomatoes and throwing a tomato at every mailbox along the way, shooting marbles in the alley by the general store, playing baseball, splashing naked in the swimming hole in the creek in the woods. Those were just childhood activities. The real legacy of the town is based on the sharing of life's journey among all those who lived there: the hardship, the sacrifice, the happiness, the tragedy, and all the bad and good of human nature. In short, it is a portrait of the trials and the struggles, the humor and the woe that most Americans shared during the years of the Great Depression.

Download or read book Child of the Great Depression written by Cliff "Top" Sjogren and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Somewhat Opinionated Observation: Although my generation grew up during difficult times, we were spared the personal struggles faced by today's young folks who must adjust to the sometimes destructive onslaught on our cultural values by the Internet, television, movies, and smart phones. Today, the ever-present media and social networks are constantly in the face of those sometimes too young to understand its impact on their lives! Many if not most of today's school aged children will spend untold hours of their free time tweeting and face-booking to find out who's dating who and why. My generation used that time developing our living skills by organizing and playing adult-free games in churchyards, exploring the neighborhood, reading books, assisting parents with household chores, and communicating eye to eye. Our media was the local newspaper and a few radio programs that consisted of news, clean comedy, adventure stories, and music. We also had the ten-cent Saturday triple-feature movies where our heroes fought the bad guys and always won usually without the display of spilled blood. Families worried about unemployment and health, knew their neighbors, and enjoyed their community. They helped each other. Most of us did not want to disappoint our parents in any way. When told to do something, we usually did it without comment. Seldom did I hear parents raise their voices in frustration over their child's behavior. While I was raised during one of the most difficult periods in our country's history, I remain convinced that preparation for life was much less stressful compared to the challenges faced by children today. It was a simpler time.
Download or read book Life s Been Good written by Glen McLaren and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, few can comprehend what it was like to live through the trauma of the Great Depression as a child. Grinding poverty meant that many children had to work - they had no option, for there was no social security, and an extended childhood was an unaffordable luxury. Despite this, the Depression Generation did not become hard and bitter. Overall, they were a generous and relatively socially cohesive group. This collection of interviews with people who grew up through the Depression - men and women, urban and rural dwellers, native-born and migrant - portrays the essence of this era. These are the speakers' own stories in their own words, presenting a moving tribute to the courage, resourcefulness, resilience and humour of the Depression Generation.
