Did the news about the market crash in the Great Depression spread really quick?
for an essay “Though the U.S. economy had gone into depression six months earlier, the Great Depression may be said to have begun with a catastrophic collapse of stock-market prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929.” (http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/depression/about.htm ) I’m not sure, but since the economy had been in recession six months before, people may have already been feeling pain. The news about the crash was probably out to everyone close to cities/towns w/ newspapers and telegraphs/telephones by the next week at the latest.
