An American Journey: Images of Railroading During The Depression - By Mark
S. Vandercook.
This 11 1/2 x 8 3/4" 164-page, hardcover book takes you on a
photographic journey through the height of the Great Depression, beginning in
1935, and ending just prior to our entry into the war in 1941. The photographs,
taken by President Roosevelt's Farm Security Administration, were originally
intended to document the effects of the Depression on the American people.
Through 143 black & white photographs this book depicts life during not

significant and integrated part of American culture.
