The voices of ordinary people

This book consists of short, personal recollections describing the daily life and tribulations of real, mainly rural people who lived through the depression years of the 1930s. It's an unpolished, un-literary collection of voices, with some voices being more credible than others. Some of the stories aren't meant to be taken seriously.If you're interested in the history of the rural midwest, you will find this book extremely interesting. It offers a lot of insight into what people really owned, and what they did from day to day.
