Welcome to the 1929 An Upper Class Affair Blog

Welcome to our new WordPress blog! If you have been inspired by Margaret Chai Maloney’s new book, “1929 An Upperclass Affair”, you can use this space to share your own comments, stories, photos, images, audio and video files just as on the author’s website. Our aim is to have a site for sharing memories and images of the Roaring Twenties, looking back to the two decades beginning in 1918, at the end of World War I, through the end of the 1930s.
