From the Great Depression to World War II - Photos from the American Memory Collection

Showcasing some of the 160,000 images taken between 1935 and 1944 by government-hired photographers. (If you were to look at 100 of them per day, every day, you'd need more than four years to view them all).

Hot dogs costing 5 cents and platefuls of food for 25 cents. Wonder what the cowboy stew was made of. Texas, 1939.
