From Poverty to Glory: Growing Up in the Great Depression

It was the 1930s during the height of the Great Depression and Tom Sprague was just a child growing up in rural Michigan. It was a bittersweet time characterized by breadlines, record unemployment, the rise of fascists regimes, and homeless families. But to this Michigan family the harshness of the era was softened by hunting and fishing, chasing chickens, and playing in the mud. Most importantly, the family learned early that financial poverty could be turned into everlasting gold so long as they stuck together during hard times. In typical Earl Hamner-like fashion, we are reminded of a more innocent time when God, Family, and Country were paramount to life and when any obstacle or trial could be overcome with hard work and dedication. Read the story of one family’s adventures and let yourself be reminded that money is nothing without faith in God and a loving home.
