Children of the Great Depression

Children of the Great DepressionChildren of the Great Depression by Russell Freedman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a very good non-fiction book about the children who lived through the depression, from all areas of our country. There are photos of children from the rural south, the northern cities, and the migrant camps of California. There are pictures of kids hopping trains, and outside of a school in West Virginia. It amazes me that these kids grew up during this difficult time, and became the greatest generation--the heroes of WW II.
A great book to read, or, just to look at the incredible pictures.
