Summary
Details

""The Work and Welfare of Children of Agricultural Laborers in Hidalgo County, Texas"" offers a poignant snapshot of the lives of children working in the agricultural sector of Texas during the early 1940s. Authored by Amber Arthun Warburton, Helen Wood, and Marian Minor Crane, this study provides invaluable insights into the social and economic conditions endured by these young laborers and their families.
