Synopsis: The stock market crash of 1929 had yet to affect the families of Shiloh, Arkansas, in the autumn of ‘31. Though times were hard, the cotton farmers were sure their land and their hard work were insurance against the vagaries of the outside world and its financial markets. There was no forewarning of the terrible Memphis panic and disaster of October 1, 1931, when in one day the cotton market collapsed and a way of life was blown away with the wind.
