Mother Country talks about growing up during the Great Depression. She was born in the late 20's and remembers life on the farm with nine other brothers and sisters during the 1930's and 40's. Back then it was a way of life but can you imagine all of us spoiled folks trying to survive a second great depression today? We probably don't have a clue how good we really have it today.

  • Jim,

    Thanks for recording such sweet memories. I searched for other videos on youtube and elsewhere on the Depression, but none were as sweet and interesting as your mom's. Others were so political and dull, but you and your mom were warm and personal.
