    <body><![CDATA[This is a great collection of reminiscences from those who lived through the Depression.  What was striking to me was the variety of experience - I know it should be obvious, but I kind of thought that EVERYONE was dirt poor and riding the rails, and of course that's not true.  The Depression affected everyone, but in different ways - and that really comes through here.  I would say this is an absolute must-read for anyone studying or curious about the Depression.  <br/><br/>]]></body>
