In the 1890's the U.S.was at risk of no money,no jobs,no food for familys.This is my story.
My family was homeless and in need of money for food.We all blamed it on the dust bowl.We had to sell our rags for food.We were all looking for jobs with a good salery.
At this point I knew my life was ending.I had to sleep on the hard ground with a rag to cover me.All we could afford was bread and water.Working was like dieing.That is how I lived.
