You'll get quick links to:

3 - Online copies of hundreds of USDA Farmers' Bulletins, like the one reprinted in the new book. Farmers' Bulletins are informative how-to booklets on all aspects of farm production and rural living.

4 - An archive of over 160,000 photos of Depression-Era American life from 1935 to 1945, like the ones used in the book and on this website, sponsored by the U.S. Library of Congress
