I’m glad that they documented in papers and audio and too bad there wasn’t more of them. Even being born a few years later you miss it. I’m glad as a teen I had to work with a lot of different elders in both Midwest and California who were born in the 1800s and then starting early 1900s. Because of life’s spans back then they didn’t expect to live that long. They’d laugh when I’d say something like what was this like or that like in the olden days. They’d laugh with each other and and say the olden days. The younger you were the more ancient it seemed but I was truly interested and though of it as being free compared to what was coming.
They were a strong generation the strongest I ever met and most God fearing.
I met people that knew or saw the icons of back when as children including people like Jessy James who’s parents hid them out in the south.
I could see there was going to be a lot of skills lost through time as everything we took for granted was work as we were being born into a easier lifestyle.
What’s kinda funny most enjoyed the here and now vs the back then for obvious reasons. Now we’re hearing things were better back when we were young because it took only one generation Of now a entitlement mentality and corruption to screw things up.
