Timothy Egan - The Worst Hard Time

I am reading this illuminating book about the Dust Bowl of the 1930's: the story of those who survived. The dust storms that blew up in America's High Plains in the darkest years of the Great Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since in America. This environmental disaster had an enormous impact on thousands of people. John Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH is about those who ran away from the dust storms. This book is about those who stayed behind & its consequences. It is compelling reading. The books is also a warning about messing with Mother Nature.
