Bookroo's summary
In the throes of the Great Depression, choices define survival. Will you march with the Bonus Army, seeking justice in Washington, D.C.? Or perhaps you'll ride the rails, chasing hope across the country. Alternatively, join the Civilian Conservation Corps to help rebuild a shattered nation. Each path offers a unique glimpse into the struggles and resilience of those who lived through one of America's darkest times. What will you choose, and how will your journey shape history?
From the publisher
In the 1930s, Americans faced one of the biggest crises ever to hit the country. During the Great Depression, the stock market crash caused banks to close and many companies to go out of business. Millions of people lost their jobs and homes during a time when the government wasn’t equipped to pick up the pieces. Will you: March on Washington, D.C., as a veteran member of the Bonus Army? Leave your home to find a better life by riding the rails? Help rebuild the country as a member of the Civilian Conservation Corps?
