I would looove to be chased by three of these little hams! They can chase me all the way home :) I keep telling my partner we need a pig for our dog... He says pigs can't live where we live, but they can if they're INDOORS! lol

I told my partner we needed a pig pet for our newfoundland. This cutie might be what drives it home hahaha

I looove the ken burns specials! I also really liked an older doc called Surviving the Dust Bowl. I found the first hand accounts so immersive mostly bc they told stories from their childhood perspective. "Daddy" instead of "my father".

I also watched a few on the polio outbreaks in the early 20th century bc my grandmother had polio as a child and post polio as an older adult. That rocked my world. I actually never knew much about it.

Omg that timeline is amazing!!! When I get home I'll check to see if my PBS app shows that.

I tried both the show/movie and the first few books, but it just didn't match the things I know so far. Real bummer bc there's a ton of those stories these days.

Looking for cinema/documentaries about 1910-1929 farming

I'm learning a ton about 1929+, but I'd like to know how my grandmother lived in the 00s-20s. They had a farm in NE Oklahoma, moved from Southern Kansas In 1902.

The TV/Movie Christy (90s) covers some of what I've heard regarding poverty, shoes, rural ethics, etc, but they're set in Tennessee. Tv/movie Sarah Plain and Tall (90s) shows some small farm life. I couldn't find much about how common this storyline was in real life- advertising for a wife.

Been watching docs about Tulsa, other cities, during that time, but can't find good stuff about basic farm life.

I've dug out everything possible so far from my tree on ancestry.com, and I'm still working through the Oklahoma historical websites.
