Click here to read an incredibly moving article about how people made do during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. The article from today’s NY Times is very inspirational and a terrific read. (My favorite part is about lifting a plank in the floorboard to grab a chicken!)

Thanks for sharing this its a great read. How did we go from that to today where even people who are flat broke are over burdened with the most random stuff? I guess now if you end up on unemployment you have a whole house full of nic-naks to sell on ebay.
I remember my grandfather telling me about eating squirrel!
