Horn Book Review
This book chronicles hardships in the American Southwest during the Great Depression. The collapse of the financial markets, the severe drought and devastating dust storms, the subsequent crop failures, and the influx of hordes of families to California and Oregon are reported in straightforward text. Sidebars and numerous archival photographs enhance the narrative, though the design is crowded. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
