^I sure missed a good chance to be, however seeing all the hippies and liberals left a big impression, I've always wanted to work and build my future...just a humble Architecture student that loved the desert
^^i think books like the foxfire series and Horace Kephart's "Our Southern Highlanders" give a perspective on people living a subsistence lifestyle, they didn't realize the depression was even going on. Things like the brothers making charcoal. Charcoal was the quick fuel for cooking if you could trade for it, making baskets, sweet syrup, toys for the children, corn liquor, etc...take on greater importance in that life style.
