Cle Illahee History

1929 was an interesting year . . . many events happened which would rewrite the history books. Back then gasoline was about 10 cents per gallon and prohibition was in full swing with bathtub gin as the drink of choice. That year, the stock market crashed and if that wasn't enough many banks failed causing people to lose their entire life savings. The entire US fell into a full-scale depression which would last well into the next decade.
