The Dust Bowl was a period of drought-triggered massive dust storms of the 1930's which blew away precious top soil from overused lands and quickly turned the Great Plains into a desert which, combined with the deepening national economic crisis, broke the backs of untold numbers of already poor farmers, among others, forcing them off the land, and triggering the historic migration to California.
This book contains a large collection of photographs from the period, heavily focused on victims of those times and include, wherever available, individuals describing the hardship they faced in their own words.
