Growing Up On the Mountain: An Appalachian of the Great Depression (Part 1)

Recently, after many years of listening to my grandma's stories of growing up during the depression, I decided to video-tape a couple of our conversations on the subject. A few hours in the editing room resulted in this finished product. She has lived a hard life, and the fact that she has overcome so much is so inspirational to me, as I hope it is to you too.
