Sounds like an interesting book - I'm very interested in history and love books of this type. One of the most interesting I've read is entiltled "Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan - a very well written factual book about the 30's and the great dust bowl. It was a New York Times best seller.
thanks for posting the pics - very interesting!
