The Worst Hard Time

The Untold Story of those who survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan...what a book, what a story. At times this book made me feel like I had dust in my mouth and I needed to drink water...it was sad and frustrating and just horrifying at times...but I felt it definitely opened my eyes to the horrors of the Dust Bowl...it gave a back story about how it all happened...there were even pictures of what it looked like. This event effected the whole US...which I wasn't aware of. There are excerpts from personal journals, news stories, and personal accounts that make this nonfiction read a great read!!
