Book: The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan
Location: Northland Arboretum
Book Summary:
The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan tells the powerful true story of the men, women, and children who endured the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Drawing on firsthand accounts and historical records, Egan brings to life the devastating dust storms that ravaged the Great Plains and the resilient communities that struggled to survive them. The book explores the environmental consequences of over-farming, the harsh realities of life during the Great Depression, and the enduring strength of those who stayed to face one of the worst environmental disasters in American history.
