Fall from Innocence Memoirs of the Great Depression

For students of research, history, or for just reminiscing, this book of memoirs is an extraordinary read.

From north to south, east to west, these memoirs are a testimony to the devasting years following the stock market crash of 1929. As see through the eyes of the young and later recounted, a common thread weaves between the lines of these fascinating accounts, that social class distinctions fell away because everyone was in the same boat.
