Life on a Rural Midwest Family Farm during the Great Depression

Description given on Youtube:
In the early twentieth century, life on the farm was challenging but families were very self-sufficient. Many farms went bankrupt. Those that survived did so by working hard and stretching every dollar. This video features original photography and first-person accounts of farm life in rural America during the Great Depression and early twentieth century.

This segment from Iowa Public Television’s documentary “The People in the Pictures: Stories from the Wettach Farm Photos” features original photography and first-person accounts of farm life in rural America during the Great Depression and early twentieth century. http://www.iptv.org/iowastories/detail.cfm/wettach

Building a primitive wattle and daub hut from scratch

By


Description given on Youtube:
I built this hut in the bush using naturally occurring materials and primitive tools. The hut is 2m wide and 2m long, the side walls are 1m high and the ridge line (highest point) is 2m high giving a roof angle of 45 degrees. A bed was built inside and it takes up a little less than half the hut. The tools used were a stone hand axe to chop wood, fire sticks to make fire, a digging stick for digging and clay pots to carry water. The materials used in the hut were wood for the frame, vine and lawyer cane for lashings and mud for daubing. Broad leaves were initially used as thatch which worked well for about four months before starting to rot. The roof was then covered with sheets of paper bark which proved to be a better roofing material (*peeling the outer layer of bark does not kill this species of tree). An external fireplace and chimney were also built to reduce smoke inside. The hut is a small yet comfortable shelter and provides room to store tools and materials out of the weather. The whole hut took 9 months from start to finish. But it only took 30 days of actual work (I abandoned it for a few months before adding bark roof, chimney and extra daub ).
