Kay Rippelmeyer understands the difficult conditions of the 1930s and imparts that understanding to her readers." - David Kenney, coauthor of Death Underground: The Centralia and West Frankfort Mine Disasters "Kay Rippelmeyer's account of the history of southern Illinois and especially the effects of the Great Depression on the area is fascinating.... This book shows how resourceful a nation can be when times get hard." - Jenny Skufca, Illinois Nature Preserves Commission"
