From the jacket flap
In the 1930s, severe drought and dust storms affected everyone in the plains region that became known as the Dust Bowl. Bringing to life symbolic characters of the past, this collection of representative narratives describes what life was like during an era of ecological disaster.
Destitute and worn, people from all walks of life convey their concerns and hopes for the future. Memorable historical figures such as Bonnie Parker and Dorothea Lange appear alongside ordinary farmers, cowboys, schoolteachers, and nurses, all yearning for the fateful day when the rain will return.
The emotionally charged passages in this latest volume of Sherry Garland's historical Voices Series highlight residents of a world covered in dust.
