This collection of pictures of the Great Depression offers a glimpse into the lives of those that suffered through it. Included in this collection are pictures of the dust storms that ruined crops, leaving many farmers unable to keep their land. Also included are pictures of migrant workers - people who had lost their jobs or their farms and traveled in the hopes of finding some work. Life was not easy during the 1930s, as you will easily see through these pictures of the Great Depression.
