The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl

I usually pay less attention to the title of books. The main purpose of the title is to draw my attention when I browse it at a bookstore. After it pulled my attention, I immediately used the GR scan function to understand the opinion of the GR members of the book. After all, my memory of the book is behind the title. Normally, when I talk about books I read with my friends, I will not be able to remember this title. This book is completely different from its title. I can not recall a book that is more suitable, "worst time".

My parents were children of the Depression. In my childhood, they told us how this nationwide tragedy affected their childhood and their friends and neighbors' stories. All of us may have read the story and may have seen the picture of the Great Depression. This book is not any book. This book is not about those who fled from the dust ball. This book is always about people who tried to do nothing. Pride and independence prevent them from seeking help until things go beyond despair and go beyond. Another remarkable part of this book is to read it when we live among people who strongly refuse science and climate change for selfish and political reasons. The book clearly shows that the cause of the dust storm was human and his ignorance and his greed, after the government finally settled the crisis after Roosevelt's election. Unfortunately, those who need to read this history are never so sure that they are not sure to believe and gain profits. Confirmation of this book is human ignorance and greed when dealing with the power of nature. To this day, the areas tortured by these bad habits are not healed.

Although the author's story is mainly related to the 1930's, he provided the necessary background to build his story and the lives of the people he used to explain the extent of the tragedy of dust Did. In telling this history, he used the lives of several local residents both inside and outside Texas and Oklahoma. The story of these people truly makes human beings of the story and expands its influence. Weather forecast, crop statistics, agricultural work data etc are all useful, but they are reading about the catastrophe of the daily life of people living there, so this book makes this book a surprising factor. The impact of this disaster on the health of people living there is what I have never thought of before. I have believed that the limit of tragedy is always blowing away soil fertility. I do not know that these winds occur almost every day. Breathable air is a precious commodity. "Pneumoconiosis" is a deadly murderer. It would have thought that someone walking outside and working outside suddenly fell into one of the sandstorms, suffocating and dying. Coal mines may be necessary if the sandstorm adversely affects the health of the inhabitants, but these people were tortured within a few years. This is a very persuasive history, today's value is huge, and we all should know the worst time. I strongly recommend this book. (minus)

The worst moment: The story of the surviving American great storm was written by Timothy Igan, New York Times reporter, and was an American history book published by Horton Mifflin in 2006. It tells the story of the people who experienced the Great Depression. A sandstorm as a disaster story

Timothy Igan: The most harsh moment: The story of the surviving American sandstorm (Paperback, 2006, Sailor's Book): In 1935, a sandstorm spread from Amarillo, Texas, to Corta. That is one of the epoch-making events. Great depression, ecological and economic disaster comparable to the worst disaster in the Soviet Union. Egan publishes a number of books in Northwest, including books for Good Rain: Time and Terrain at Pacific Northwest, Seattle Travel Guide, and Cable of the Cable: New West.

Timothy Igan's work. The most harsh moment: The unknown story of those who survived the American sand storm is a model of eternal influence. The benefit-driven policy is related to the Great Plains. At this point, ethanol will attract people to raise the cost of corn. In addition to diluting the protection reserve plan, it also shows that it repeats the public demonstration of our songs and is like trying to work for all vacant secret land plans. Do not advertise that great people believe groundwater irrigation is feasible and practical for all the long term.
