New Dust bowl book

Robert in Md · Aug 13, 2010

Some time ago someone mentioned a new book on the dust bowl that they had read. I made a note of the title and author for later reference but guess what I can,t find the note. Anyone got any idea what I,m talking about?
Thanks Robert

The Worst Hard Time, by Timothy Egan. Very good read.

I can second that "The worst hard time"... A really good book.

I've read it, too. It certainly doesn't whitewash the stupidity of plowing up all of that native prairie.

Excellent read.

I was a member of the local Soil and Water conservation board when discovered it in this forum. I asked about it at the local Library and they ordered it because they had a bit of extra funds. I asked the board to read it. I expecially like the part about Hugh Bennett.
