First Sentence
"The sound of tramping feet in a long hall, the noise of scuffling feet in a big room, the babble of human voices pitched in every key, mingle with other sounds in a ceaseless jazz symphony of human life."

Edition Notes
"First edition."
The county in reference throughout the book is Manistee County, Michigan.
A quote from Eleanor Roosevelt reads:
"I am also reading with a great deal of pleasure a book called "We Too Are The People," by Louise V. Armstrong. This is the story of a county in the state of Michigan, of its people and their struggles through the past few years. It is written with the obvious intention of making the nation realize that people on relief are still people, even as you and I. Some of them have a harder time over a long period due to circumstances which even you and I might not have met any more adequately. On some of them disaster has descended suddenly in a way it might descend on us. Added to the interest of the picture the author paints of the locality and its people, is the interest in the character of the writer, which merges without any apparent intention on her part. That character and personality must prove interesting and helpful to any of us."
