by Timonthy Egan, Houghton Mifflin, 2006
This gripping story of those who weathered the 1930s dust bowl is hard to put down. It follows the story of several towns and individuals in TX, CO, OK and KS from the great plow-up in the early part of the century through rabbit round-ups, dust pnemonia, shrunken rivers and ten-inch yearly rainfalls. The book is a reminder of both the human power to unleash the forces of nature and human powerlessness to contain them.
