1932 Photograph of the famous bonus army that set up camps called "Hoovervilles" during the great depression in protest. They felt money was owed to them by the government for their service in WWI about fifteen years earlier. Their marches and protests were famous during the depression and this image captures their camp in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. A powerful reminder of their plight during tough times, this photo was issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a large paper caption and in great shape.
