"... for the 120 haunting and unforgettable photographs taken by the noted 
photographer, Arthur Rothstein, most of them collected for the first time in this 
volume.  Rothstein is still well remembered today, and his 1936 photo of a farmer 
and his two little boys caught in an Oklahoma dust storm, for instance, is one of 
the Depression shots everyone instantly recognizes.  Working for the Farm Security 
Administration along with Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange and Ben Shahn, Rothstein
documented the way America looked and felt during this crucial time in everyone's
history."

"... For this volume, Mr. Rothstein has collected rural scenes (Oakies, barren and 
parched land, small schoolhouses, oppressed fruit and cotton pickers, individual 
portraits, portraits of families and children), urban shots (the stock market, night
life, cityscapes), small-town America (barber shops, movie-house marquees, churches, 
stations, store)s, labor and political events (unions, coal miners, F. D. R. on 
tour, American draftees)."
