About the Book What Was the Great Depression
On October 29, 1929, life in the United States took a turn for the worst.
The stock market - the system that controls money in America - plunged to a record low. But this event was only the beginning of many bad years to come. By the early 1930s, one out of three people was not working. People lost their jobs, their houses, or both and ended up in shantytowns called "Hoovervilles," named for the president at the time of the crash. By 1933, many banks had gone under. Though the U.S. has seen other times of struggle, the Great Depression remains one of the hardest and most widespread tragedies in American history. Now it is represented clearly and with 80 illustrations.
Even though this book is written for elementary level students, it is a wonderful, easy-to-read summary of important information about the Great Depression that older students can read independently, easily understand, and quickly retain as background information to apply when reading other books about the Great Depression.
This non-fiction book contains eighty carefully chosen illustrations and sixteen pages of black and white photographs suitable for young readers.
This Page Is Under Construction
It takes a long time to gather all the data for our new book page format with more useful descriptions, themes, and activity ideas. Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
