Another amazing account of the Dust Bowl is the novel "The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan.

Very scary for everyone who was in the path of it, and these facts make it even more scarier.

My grandmother lived through this. Her stories about it were incredible... she said dust was everywhere, in your eyes, your nose, your ears. The wid would cut your skin. She said her mother had to make them eat under a wet sheet because if you ate too much dust you would poop blood.

Just listened to The four winds talking book by Kristin Hannah about this period in American history. Brilliant. 🎉
