The Dust Bowl

- Living in Tough Times

Bag om The Dust Bowl

The 1930's produced a Great Depression that caused families to live in poverty for a decade. In the Great Plains, Black Blizzards scraped the top soil from farms and blew the soil to the Atlantic Ocean. Ranchers and homesteaders faced foreclosures and ruination. Many packed their belongings into a beat-up car and headed to California. The majority of people stayed and faced the hostile environment with the hope of "next year things will be better." From the experiences of those who lived in the Great Plains, Cleo Lampos has framed a series of glimpses into the daily life of the people who struggled in the Dust Bowl. Their fears and triumphs, hopes and challenges are penned with insight. How does one live in tough times? Read this tribute to those who persevered during an important period in our country's past.
