I Must Remember This: A Southern White Boy's Memories of the Great Depression, Jim Crow, and World War II For Sale
Product Overview
Joe, George, and Richard Youngblood, three white brothers growing up in the rural South during the Great Depression, live in a world of paradoxes: love and hate; doubt and faith; and sadness and humor.
In his poignant memoir I Must Remember This: A Southern White Boy’s Memories of the Great Depression, Jim Crow, and World War II, author George Youngblood shares stories about everything from the brothers’ first awareness of death, sex, and race to the truth about Santa Claus. They smoke rabbit tobacco, tremble at ghost and snake stories, watch haircuts for excitement, get baptized, and gawk at locomotives and alligators.
Hard times draw the Youngblood family closer to their father’s black farm workers. With one family in particular they form a symbiotic relationship in the hostile world of poverty, disease, and segregation. I Must Remember This is Youngblood’s family story as they hope, work, and laugh with little cause—and succeed with basic honesty, respect, and an astounding sense of humor.

The Hard Surface Road: A Memoir of the Great Depression Reviews
Product Overview
Clyde R.Kennedy's extraordinary memory for detail and love of a good yarn make for a vivid depiction of life in Belmont County in southeastern Ohio during the Great Depression. In 1930, with his father broke and out of work, his family abandons their foreclosed house in Pennsylvania to retreat back to the mercy of family in Bellaire, Ohio. When precious little help is found, Kennedy's mother Anna sets them on a seven year odyssey moving the family a dozen times into and out of whatever shelter she can find

Naked Ears: A Child's-Eye View of the Great Depression Reviews
Product Overview
Naked Ears portrays a time in our history when life was simpler. It views the Great Depression through the eyes of a young girl. Life in rural Arkansas in the 1930s had all the elements of life in any society - happiness, sadness, dreams, frustrations, humor, friendship. Farm families depended on the land for their livelihood, and neighbors were always willing to lend a helping hand. They had no electricity, no plumbing, and no telephones. Trips to the doctor were rare and cars were few. The main means of transportation were wagons, horseback, and walking. Still, we don't miss what we have never had, and the author did not remember more prosperous times.

DOWN BUT NOT OUT: A Little Rich Girl Grows Up Poor in the Great Depression Reviews
Product Overview
Even in the worst of times there is hope-IF you are prepared to keep fighting. It was the worst of times-the Great Depression-and for one family it spelled disaster. Within a few years they had gone from a beautiful home in Westchester County, to a dilapidated farm in Appalachia. The father, once vice-president of a prosperous New York brokerage firm in the Chrysler Building, became dependent on handouts from relatives. The mother went from buying expensive clothes at Lord & Taylor, to wearing cast-offs sent to her by an older sister. And the little girl? The little girl witnessed it all, experienced it all and overcame it all. Mary Anne Butler takes you into the Depression Era, and the years that followed, in a way that can only be done by a person who lived through it. In addition to overnight poverty, she had to face religious prejudice, sexual harassment, and workplace inequity. Yet, through it all, one simple theme keeps shining through: Nothing is inevitable as long as you are willing to keep fighting. Down But Not Out is not just a memoir. It's a message of hope to everyone in today's economic times. Utterly charming! Butler makes you laugh one minute and cry the next. You will be unable to put the book down.
