Color Photos of Depression Era

The Denver Post has posted a great collection of color photos taken by the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information between 1939 and 1943. They are some of the only color photographs taken of the effects of the Depression on rural America.

Thanks for reading, Susanna. By the way, I am scheduled to be back at Ft. Ticonderoga in the Fall of 2011.

That sounds great, if I am still in the area you can definitely count on seeing me again! I'm really looking forward to your next book and hope to get a copy for the library when it is released!
