What would your life look like if you couldn't simply go to the store and buy what you needed?
Before modern appliances, convenient shopping, and most of the technology we take for granted, American farm families had to depend on something else: hard work, ingenuity, family, and neighbors.
In The Bumpy Road, Quentin F. Veit takes readers back to his boyhood in Osage Bend, Missouri, during the Great Depression and the years surrounding World War II. Through his firsthand memories, he reveals what everyday life was really like on a small Midwestern farm between 1930 and 1945.
How did families wash their clothes? How did they preserve food? How did they care for livestock, harvest crops, repair broken equipment, and get through long days of demanding work?
Filled with fascinating details and historical photographs and illustrations, The Bumpy Road offers a rare glimpse into a way of American life that has largely disappeared.
For readers interested in the Great Depression, American history, farming, genealogy, rural life, or the experiences of earlier generations, this is more than a memoir – it’s a window into another America.
