1915-1930
Dorotha covers the first years of her life, from birth up until her marriage with Floyd. She begins with her earliest memories around the age of five and continues throughout her schooling years. She recalls national events like the ending of the first world war in 1918 and the beginning of the great depression in 1929 all while telling the story of her education and getting her first jobs as a teacher in a one room school-house. The tape ends with Dorotha and Floyd's wedding in the early stages of the great depression.
