In school, I learned a little about the Depression Era. My parents and aunts mentioned it a time or two across the years. My knowledge of it was limited to the failure of the stock market in 1929 and peppered with some of the hardships people had to endure during the era. Once I began researching, I realized just how little I really knew. These weren’t just difficult times for people, they were devastating.  From 1914 to 1918, our country fought in World War 1. Then a short 11 years later, they were hit with a different type of ‘war’ – the Great Depression. Instead of being shipped off to another country armed with munitions, the people of this country faced the battle of a severe economic downturn. Instead of arming themselves with munitions, they had to fight this new war with innovation. Their new task was to learn how to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Not an easy task. My research started me thinking – just how well could I survive another Great Depression? This Episode covers a bit more of what folks had to do to survive, as well as my desire to create my own version of a Depression Era Challenge.
