Noted historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., considers such scant attention a mistake. Hopkins himself told Eleanor Roosevelt that Hickok's reports would be the best history of the Depression. And no less a figure than FDR had hoped to see her reports published, something she attempted, but failed to accomplish. Now, nearly a half century later, her book, with its sharp-eyed portrayal of the Depression's bitter human depths, is finally available. In the Twenties and early Thirties, Lorena Hickok made a name for herself as a journalist for the Minneapolis Tribune, New York Daily Mirror, and Associated Press. With the emergence of Roosevelt and the New Deal, she was hired on as Hopkins's confidential investigator. Hickok was told to gather information about the day-to-day toll the Depression was exacting from the lives of individual citizens. Hopkins instructed her: Tell me what you see and hear. All of it. Don't ever pull punches. From 1933 to 1935 Hickok travelled across thirty-two states, from Maine to California and the Dakotas to Texas, and discovered firsthand the shocking plight of the millions of unemployed and dispossessed Americans. Lorena Hickok's reports, written with the economy, focus, and impact of vignettes, detail the vast interlocking matrix of private misfortunes and public relief efforts. No significant facet of this matrix goes unrecorded. Her pointed commentaries touch upon labor conflicts; political patronage; banking practices; bureaucratic inefficiency; inverted agricultural economics; industrial modernization; human migrations and peonage; urban versus rural needs; the massive distribution of too little food, clothing, work, and money; the significant role of women in relief administration; and the ever-present, lurking shadow of Communism. Most of all, she gives us the faces and voices of farmers, blue-collar workers, jobless executives, ethnic minorities, migrants, transients, young and old - the unfed, unclothed, unemployed, and homeless.
