"Although factual and calm in style, this book is as moving as John
Steinbeck's novels."--The New Republic"Easily one of the most
important books that has dealt with the dust bowl and its problems.
Nowhere else can be found such penetrating and dispassionate
comments, free from political bias, on the actual workings of
governmental agencies in the attempt to deal with cumulative
disaster to one-sixth of our national area. And what is said has
bearing on problems far beyond the limits of the Great
Plains."--The Saturday Review of Literature"The author has a story
to tell that is of first importance to all Americans. . . . [A
story of the] drought and high winds [that] brought permanent ruin
and tragedy . . . to a region as large as France, Germany, and most
of the British Isles."--American Library Association Booklist
"One of the best books ever to appear about Dust Bowl days . . .not
only because it is well written, but also because its author was
one of those plains farmers who fought the losing fight. . . . A
highly recommended 'inside' account."--Robert Athearn, author of
The Coloradans and High Country Empire
