The Depression- For Some, It Just Was Not That Bad, Audio Part 2
In this project, Genevieve Hall interviewed Robert Lee Boyd Jr, and Versie Phillips about their experiences during the Great Depression. The two had differing experiences from other survivors of the depression because Ms. Phillips grew up on a farm and had everything they needed, while Mr. Boyd’s family owned a store. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.

The Daily Eats and Treats in 1930s Appalachia
In this project, Kerri Huff interviewed her grandmother Cova Quesenberry of Buffalo Mountain in Floyd County Virginia, and Anna Kenley from McDowell County, West Virginia about food and cooking in the 1930s. Since the two interviewees were from different states, Ms. Huff assumed they would have different answers to the interview questions and would talk about different foods, but that did not end up being the case. Daily food staples such as beans, bacon and eggs, biscuits etc were described by both. During the interview, Ms. Quesenberry described growing up on a farm and how most all of the farm products they raised and produced were sold to provide the money they needed to survive. Ms. Kenley on the other hand, grew up in a coal mining camp and had a garden that supplied only their family with food. Another interesting similarity between the two women was their assertion that the Great Depression did not much affect them since they were already poor. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.
