In the 1930s, Americans faced one of the biggest crises ever to hit the country. During the Great Depression, the stock market crash caused banks to close and many companies to go out of business.

Leave your home to find a better life by riding the rails? Help rebuild the country as a member of the Civilian Conservation Corps?
