- Description
This book presents a wealth of statistical data on how the Great Depression affected Wisconsin's rural counties. Published July 15, 1936, it uses more than 80 maps to depict the distribution of wealth, the ownership and indebtedness of farms, tax delinquency, value of farm products, percentage of the population receiving government relief, and other sociological data. Its text discusses local businesses, demographics, geography, industries, social agencies, schools, churches, and other rural institutions, and how they have been affected or are responding to the catastrophic economic downturn of the 1930s. The maps from this book will be added separately to our online map collection (coming in late 2010), where they can be viewed at higher resolution.
