Some Americans who were born and raised during the Great Depression, have passed from this life although many still remain with us. Many famous books, movies and television shows have covered stories from that generation and many of them continue to fascinate the current generations living today (e.g. “The Great Depression” mini series on HBO and “The Walton's” reruns from the 1970s). It was an era before the popularity of television itself and people lived simpler lives and enjoyed the basic pleasures of life such as children playing in the outdoors and families enjoying each others company without the popular electronic distractions we are surrounded by today.People of The Depression Era also experienced many struggles and challenges in life that are not experienced on the same scale by Americans today. Stories of getting by in the face of adversities during The Great Depression and of the bond between family and friends are inspiring and they often demonstrate the triumph of the human spirit and the power of human love. The stories that will be related within the pages of this book include those very attributes and many also simply include the nostalgic memories of an era gone by, through the eyes of the late Glenn Thomas Doyle, as compiled and presented as a collection of short stories, in their original form and language, by his niece, Janice F. Lowrance. It is my sincere hope that I have done justice to the formatting of these wonderful and inspiring related stories from some of the “Good Old Days” of the American experience.-Janice F.

It was the sober time of the Great Depression, World War II, and general want, but it was also a time to live and enjoy life as much as possible. The memories include two black men, our nearest neighbors, one of whom had a wife and a son. The hard times drew us together. My father was trying to succeed with his sawmill and store so he hired the black men to look after his farm and to look after us. Mama often helped in the store and or in the church so the black man's wife was often our housekeeper, cook, and second mother. The black couple's son was our playmate so the color line was indistinct and we lived on both sides of it. Segregation had crystallized around laws, customs, and public opinion. Some people made a science of it-unwritten but widespread views about what to do under various conditions. Jim Crow was harsh and we saw some horrible things making these memories all the more melancholy and all the more precious because we did some things right.

This unfinished manuscript "depicts the personal side of the Great Depression. It minimizes both the most pitiful and gruesome events of the period, as well as the grandiose life style of the rich and famous, choosing instead to enlighten readers about life for middle class Americans, whether they lived in cities or on farms, from themselves directly or from those who had heard stories passed to them by their relatives."--from front cover.

Believing that it could never happen again, I never wanted my children to know the poverty, hopelessness, and humiliation endured by my family in the Great Depression. The current economic situation prompted me to reconsider. This is my first hand account of those difficult days. My story tells of early memories of happy days, family gatherings, and travel, prior to the start of the great depression in 1929. My father lost his job in early 1930. Before long the insurance policies were cash surrendered, and jewelry was pawned. My father's efforts to get help from his wealthy brother failed. Thus began years of living on Relief. We survived on surplus food deliveries, meager food vouchers, uncertain coal delivers, left-over buns from the convent kitchen, and holiday food baskets. Difficult enough, but complicated by my mother's eccentric behavior, and the case workers' determination to deal with her.

First published in 1970, Studs Terkel's bestselling Hard Times has been called “a huge anthem in praise of the American spirit” (Saturday Review) and “an invaluable record” (The New York Times). With his trademark grace and compassion, Terkel evokes a mosaic of memories from those who were richest to those who were destitute: politicians, businessmen, artists and writers, racketeers, speakeasy operators, strikers, impoverished farmers, people who were just kids, and those who remember losing a fortune. Now, in a handsome new illustrated edition, a selection of Studs's unforgettable interviews are complemented by images from another rich documentary trove of the Depression experience: Farm Security Administration photographs from the Library of Congress. Interspersed throughout the text of Hard Times, these breathtaking photographs by Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Jack Delano, and others expand the human scope of the voices captured in the book, adding a new dimension to Terkel's incomparable volume. Hard Times is the perfect introduction to Terkel's work for new readers, as well as a beautiful new addition to any Terkel library.

Because I was born in 1941, at the very end of the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941), I have no personal memories of the those years. But 65 years later, I can still recall the things my parents told of their lives during those years.The things mom and dad experienced during the "Great Depression" shaped the rest of their lives. They lived according to economic and moral rules that they fashioned for themselves, based on their Depression-era experiences. "Don't buy anything on time; don't pay interest." "Waste not, want not." My mother had ten brothers and sisters. When mom's mother died, the older siblings began to take care of those who were younger. And when the older siblings got old, the younger siblings in turn took care of them.By the time, I decided to write accounts of the "Great Depression," my parents were gone. And then one day, for no special reason, I decided to collect tales of the "Great Depression." The thirty accounts found in this book, are the thirty stories that I like best of the accounts that I have gathered over the last 30 years. This book tells the stories of thirty ordinary Americans who lived through the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941).
