| | SCENES FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION
The Farm Security Administration photographers captured several hundred thousand images during the Great Depression which have become familiar to us. But they could not capture them all. Shown here, "North Platte, Nebraska" (c.1935), is the scene outside the Western Union office as unemployed men are gathered. A seemingly employed gentleman passes by without interacting.
