My folks missed the depths of the depression but my Dad and Aunt used
to walk the railroad tracks (probably around 1933-35) pulling a little
red wagon to pick up pieces of coal to take home for heat and cooking.

Interviewed a Great-Aunt. "When you moved to Florida in 1921 on a flat
bed truck, what did you eat? "Anything we could kill!." Mom wasn't yet
born. The men went to Florida to find work, went back to the farm in
Alabama and told the females to "load the truck, we're moving to
Florida."
