Many lessons and anecdotes of history have been gleened from the Great Depression of the 1930's. I have a personal one to share. In the back of my yard exists an old chicken coop that was build during the depression as a means to generate some domestic econommy and self-reliance. This old chicken coop was first used to raise chickens, then later was used as an actual residence during the depression. Today, I use it to store 12 dry chords of fire wood for burning during the winter.
