Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A well written history of a mostly forgotten Depression. Ramsey is a former newspaper columnist, and brings along a reporters eye and format to cover a great deal of ground. I especially enjoyed the chapters covering the politics (and politicians) of the age. Even with his focus on the northwest, this history should be of interest to a much wider audience. Well researched and includes an extensive appendix as well as numerous end notes. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In 1893 Washington, a new state with new people, plunged into the last depression of the 19th century. Banks tailed. Railroad building stopped. Money became so scarce that Port Angeles and Bellingham made their own. Jobless men sawed wood, picked blackberries and dug clams. In Spokane, the town's richest man was wiped out, and from Tacoma and Seattle protesters set off for Washington, D.C., on foot and by stealing rides on trains. In The Panic of 1893, former Seattle newspaper columnist Bruce A. Ramsey tells the story of how people survived and how their resilience defined their new state. Book jacket.
