Summary[edit]

Description
English: Tracy (vicinity), California. Missouri family of five who are seven months from the drought area on U.S. Highway 99. "Broke, baby sick, and car trouble!" (LOC description) N.B. The sign just visible in front of the truck confirms the other version on the LoC site is correct, not the mirror image version seen in the original scan this is based on.
