My grandmother was born in 1929 and she would always tell us how hard the depression was even from a child's perspective, I couldn't imagine how it hard it was as an adult in those days.

Is there any actual recording of Hoover's speech?

The text is in his presidential Papers, recently added online.

It is generally believed that Hoover's inauguration was the first to be recorded by news cameras with sound. Unfortunately, no copy of that film footage survives.

The audio contains errors. The inauguration ceremony occurs on the steps of the US Capitol, not the Supreme Court.

Hoover was an orphan, but he never lived in an orphanage; when his parents died relatives took the Hoover kids in.

This is a retrospective film. It uses silent film footage from 1929 but the narration is from 1960.

When I searched for Herbert Hoover Audio, I didn't find much, but I think I had some audio of Herbert's speech on one of my CD-ROM encyclopedias that was for my older computer

I saw video with audio of a Calvin Coolidge speech on the White House lawn in 1924, however, it must be bullshit because there was no sound in 1924.

in 1919 Lee DeForest developed a way to record sound on film using light, and he and his crew went to the White House in 1924 to make a sound short. www.britannica.com/technology/Phonofilm

Some comments below were on available audio of Hoover's speech. One inauguration history program that I watched around 1989 carried a very brief clip of Hoover taking the oath and thanking Coolidge, his predecessor. The clip was in poor shape, but it was interesting to watch. I read somewhere that a film of the inauguration with audio had been partially destroyed by fire.

Hoover was a well intentioned man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He became the first president (but not the last) to try and control the economy through government intervention. Unfortunately it turned what would have been a nasty two year recession into an economic calamity that was compounded by FDR's similar attempts to regulate the economy back to health.

Mr. Hoover was a good man. No president could have solved the problems of the great depression, and don't reply to me saying that FDR did either.
