The Worst Hard Time

The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl

Egan, Timothy.
Old Saybrook : Tantor Media, 2006.
Format: Eaudiobook
Description: digital
The dust storms that terrorized America's High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since, and the stories of the people that held on have never been fully told. Pulitzer Prize-winning New York times journalist and author Timothy Egan follows a half-dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, going from sod huts to new framed houses to huddling in basements with the windows sealed by damp sheets in a futile effort to keep the dust out.
