Surviving the Dust Bowl
This site examines the combination of farming techniques, economic conditions, and an eight-year drought (1931-1939) in the southern plains of the United States that led to giving the area the name "The Dust Bowl." The people involved, the results of the drought, and the various government remedies to the situation are also covered. A companion to the PBS program of the same name, a part of The American Experience series.
