MEMORIES OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION: A Time Remembered

John Donald O'Shea

4.9/5 (20302 ratings)

Description:In writing my first book, “Memories of the Great Depression: A Time Forgotten,” the process of gathering first-hand personal accounts of people who lived through the Great Depression of the 1930s, and preserving them, became a labor of love. The people who grew up during the Great Depression are the same people who soon selflessly exchanged their civilian clothes for military and naval uniforms. They fought the war — and many of them died — to preserve a free America and the Western tradition of Democracy. In the 1941 words of FDR, we fought so people in the free world could continue to enjoy the "Four Freedoms" — freedom of speech and worship; freedom from want and fear. It was this generation of Americans, raised during the Great Depression, who freely faced death and disability in the war, who have most appropriately been labeled, "Our Greatest Generation." If there is a theme to this book — something common to almost all the stories herein — it is this:"Being poor didn't hurt us. The Depression taught us all a lot of lessons. It made us stronger. In some ways it was a very simple time, because nobody had a lot. What made it bearable was that if you went without, you knew your friends also were going without — as long as you had food." The accounts of those persons contained in this book are original, first-hand accounts of folks who lived through the Great Depression. I have taken their stories as they were given to me on my tape recorder. I have changed nothing of substance, but I have organized the materials to create coherent accounts and to avoid redundancies. And of course, I have supplied the punctuation. But the stories are entirely theirs; not mine. John Donald O'SheaWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
