    Default The Great Depression

    I'm pretty sure I got this link from some wonderful person in FV & it's definately worth posting again.

    Step back in time and listen to the stories of those who lived and struggled to survive during this time in history. (Need realplayer) http://www.studsterkel.org/htimes.php

    The book is called "Hard Times" and is a great read! It's all oral history and you will learn soooo much.
