Helpful Score: 1

This book, though hard to read in the emotional sense, filled in the details missing from the history lessons given in school. Egan's use of diaries and other written words from those who suffered through this time lends veracity to the horror stories of the newspapers and politics of the past and the present. Those who suffered through the depression and Dust Bowl were certainly of hardier stock than most of us.
The book is well written, as was my first Egan book, "The Big Burn," and is a good reminder to all of us of our past history in the United States of America.
