Author and cultural anthropologist Veronica Kirin traveled more than 11,000 miles across the United States to interview the last living members of the Greatest Generation, each one born before 1945. “Stories of Elders” preserves the wisdom, thoughts, humor, knowledge, and advice of the people who make up one of America’s final analog generations. These fascinating stories share rapid social and technological advancements alongside major historical events like World War I, the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, and World War II and document the paradigm shift of the high-tech revolution for generations to come.
