The Great Depression was an extraordinary test of the character of America, and it seems many passed! In San Francisco, my grandfather was a "high steel" man with work on the Golden Gate Bridge. He left crab traps out to pick up after work, but also had a cow, a goat, and chickens on a mini-farm at the crest of "Diamond Heights" next door to Twin Peaks.
