Default Recipes from Great Depression?

<< Does anyone have any recipes from this era (U.S. or other cuisines..) or
can you recommend a good WWW or hard copy source for them?

R.M.-

You might also look into recipes from the South after the Civil War. My mother
mentioned hearing stories about how all the crops had been burned and livestock
killed during the war. That was probably worse than the depression.

I think that may be the period where Mulligan Stew originated. If I have my
story right, it was a concoction with anything they could get their hands on,
including rabbits or squirrels!
