Synopsis

This book, a compelling study on the lives and aspirations of 16-25 year old rural American youth conducted in 1936-1937, delves into the social, occupational and economic circumstances of this segment of the US population during a specific period in American agricultural history. The author, an agricultural sociologist, conducted a survey of 472 young people in five Maryland counties to collect data on their challenges, interests, and visions for the future. The book's findings on the educational, employment and leisure pursuits of rural youth provide insights into the issues faced by this demographic group during the Great Depression. Amidst the economic hardships of the time, the study observed the resilience of young rural Americans and their determination to improve their lives, making this book a valuable contribution to the historical understanding of American youth during this transformative era.
