Voices of the Dust Bowl (Voices of History)

0/5 ( ratings)

From 1931 to 1940, a prolonged drought on the Great Plains brought disaster to countless Americans, particularly in the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. This illustrated history for young readers offers a sweeping view of the the catastrophe and its consequences, told through moving first-person accounts of typical participants. Representing people from Kansas to California, from a young couple on a picnic hit by a 'black blizzard' to a child who experiences the rainstorms that end the drought at last, these accounts open a window onto American history. A historical note at the end of the book provides more information about this tragic time, while a glossary expounds on the language of the period.
