| Scope & content | The period from the Wall Street Crash until the outbreak of the Second World War was a momentous time in the shaping of America. The journal provides a contemporary and detailed account of the impact on the milling industry of the Crash, the ensuing depression and the cataclysmic drought that followed. It also illuminates a challenging and humbling narrative on prevalent social aspects such as racism and prejudice against women. All are covered in Rose’s account together with some intriguing details on the industry’s views of communist and fascist regimes in Europe at that time. |
