Description
Originally from Owanka, South Dakota, June's ancestors moved to the area in the 1800's. She shares stories of "average, everyday life" growing up in the country during the Great Depression: from fly and mosquito infestations to being excited over the sight of sidewalks that she'd only seen in books at school.
