Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Dark Days on Bear CreekThe Depression Years, 1929-1939Book Three Over the Barnes Bridge seriesHarry T. BarnesThis book begins in 1929 with the stock market crash igniting the Great Depression. Ida and Jim Barnes eke out a living during the dark days of the 1930s while also dealing with the angst and misadventures of their five adolescent children. The story includes vignettes, many originally written by the author's mother in the decade before her death in 2011. As Jim and the four Barnes boys seek work logging, mining, and doing odd jobs in the mountains of Western Maryland, Ida and their daughter tend crops, hogs and chickens, cooking on a wood stove, laboring over a scrub board, and mending clothes by kerosene lamp. Until President Roosevelt's New Deal brings hope to America, life is a day-by-day struggle for survival."Dark Days on Bear Creek" is a roller-coaster of emotional episodes ranging from near-death experiences and family feuds to poignant joyful moments. Throughout the decade of hopelessness and hardship, the children eventually mature, work picks up, and times get better. Characters, events, and settings in this book were drawn from family stories, the author's childhood memories, Friendsville historical references, census records, newspaper articles, obituaries, and genealogical data. The author's imagination was called into play only when details were not available. Book one in this series, "She Called Him Jim," describes the horrors Ida and Jim experienced growing up as children in the early 1900s. It's the story of their heart-rending challenges after their fathers were killed, Jim's and Ida's serendipitous meeting in a girls' reform school in Baltimore City, and eventual marriage in 1912. Book two, "The Barnes Bridge," begins during the Great War, the influenza pandemic of 1918, and the death of Ida's and Jim's six-month-old baby. A life-changing decade of heartache and hardship follows as the family leaves Baltimore to live in a coal town in the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland. The book ends in 1928 with Jim and Ida and their five children finally settling down in a little cottage by the bridge over Bear Creek.…
