520    The first account of the remarkable 18-month journey of 
       Lorena Hickok, intimate friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, 
       throughout the country during the worst of the Great 
       Depression, bearing witness to the unprecedented ravages; 
       an indelible portrait of an unprecedented crisis. 
520    "During the harshest year of the Great Depression, Lorena 
       Hickok, a top woman news reporter of the day and intimate 
       friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, was hired by FDR's right-hand
       man Harry Hopkins to embark upon a grueling journey to the
       hardest-hit areas of the country to report back on the 
       degree of devastation. Distinguished historian Michael 
       Golay draws on a trove of original sources--including the 
       moving, remarkably intimate, almost daily letters between 
       Hickok and Eleanor Roosevelt--as he re-creates that 
       extraordinary journey. Hickok traveled by car almost 
       nonstop for eighteen months, from January 1933 to August 
       1934, surviving hellish dust storms, rebellions by coal 
       workers in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and a near 
       revolution by Midwest farmers. A brilliant observer, 
       Hickok wrote searing and deeply empathetic reports to 
       Hopkins and letters to Mrs. Roosevelt that comprise an 
       unparalleled record of the worst economic disaster in the 
       history of the country. Historically important, they 
       crucially influenced the scope and strategy of the 
       Roosevelt administration's unprecedented relief efforts. 
       America 1933 reveals Hickok's pivotal contribution to the 
       policies of the New Deal and sheds light on her intense 
       but ill-fated relationship with Eleanor Roosevelt and the 
       forces that inevitably came between them."--Publisher's 
       description.
