The Worst Hard Time - reading

Finished "The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl" by Timothy Egan. First, let me say that I greatly enjoyed this, even though it clearly demonstrated the great harm ignorance can cause. These people didn't just survive the great American Dust Bowl, they (along with a persistent drought and typical high plains weather) created it. And yeah, some of the aspects of the story were repetitive, but then again, there were a lot of "dusters" who stuck around long after things went not just bad but ridiculously bad. The descriptions of the dust storms were vivid, bringing you right to the time and place, staring at a black wall as it flew mercilessly at you, all the while knowing it will choke the air out of you, your family and your livestock, and the static in the storm would be bad enough to kill the things you tried to keep growing despite the conditions.
