Synopsis: This Book, the first full-length treatment of the subject, tells the story of the Dust Bowl--those portions of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas that suffered drought and wind erosion of legendary severity between 1932 and 1938. Unlike earlier accounts of this period, Paul Bonnifield's is based largely on personal interviews and local sources. The result is a thorough, detailed, and readable piece of social history, deeply sympathetic to the hardworking people who struggled to survive poverty and hostile weather...
