Why not just post the essay here and have everyone give their input?
And what Woods and Murphy literature/lectures are you speaking of exactly?
If you haven't checked them out yet, see Rothbard's America's Great Depression as well as The Roosevelt Myth by John T. Flynn. Also, a book I think would be perfect for you to check into is Jim Powell's Roosevelt's Folly because it's short and to the point, and he does a great job showing how Roosevel's policies themselves were a factor in prolonging the Depression.
check out this piece by Lawrence Reed. It's on Walter Williams homepage "Great Myths of the Great Depression"

I haven't read it yet (I actually just picked it up from the library the other day and it's sitting on my coffee table), but I have heard that Burton Folsom's New Deal or Raw Deal is one of best dismantlings of FDR/Depression/New Deal myths out there.
Folsom's book is very good. Also, Milton Friedman and Anna J. Schwartz' A Monetary History of the United States is important (although, you can weigh their opinions on the money supply with those of Austrian economists).
