Country boys
Washington Monthly, Sept, 2005 by Charles Peters
To a remarkable degree, we saw ourselves as the same back then. Most Americans bona before 1920 crone from rural backgrounds. They had no difficulty identifying with the down and out, because they or their friends and family had been there--many quite recently, like the six relatives who slept one after another on our riving room couch in the 1930s as they looked for jobs.
Their self-image came straight from Norman Rockwell. My father described himself as "an old country boy," as did Will Rogers, who had died in 1935, but who remained the leading male role model of the era.
