About the Authors: Henry W. Francis and Martha Gellhorn (1908–1998) were among the writer/reporters sent by Federal Emergency Relief administrator Harry Hopkins to travel around the United States and report on conditions that did not make the headlines of the national newspapers. On this project, he sent his observers out with instructions to describe conditions vividly and honestly.
