Surviving the Dust Bowl & Years of Dust: The Story of the Dust Bowl DVD & Book combo

Description

• American Experience: Surviving the Dust Bowl DVD: In 1931 the rains stopped and the "black blizzards" began. Less well-known than those who sought refuge in California, typified by the Joad family in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," the Dust Bowlers stayed and overcame an almost a decade of unbelievable calamities and disasters, enduring drought, dust, disease--even death--determined to preserve their way of life.
  
  
• Years of Dust: The Story of the Dust Bowl - Hardcover: Offers a review of the events that led up to and took place during this natural disaster in the Great Plains during the 1930s, and discusses the changes that were instituted in farming and land conservation as a result of it.
