Review
"A significant contribution to the environmental and social history of the Dust Bowl. Riney-Kehrberg describes the most forgotten figures in the history of the Dust Bowl, those who remained on the land. In rich detail, she paints a picture of remarkable tenacity and inventiveness among those who hung on month by month."--Environmental History
"This book transforms farmers from villains in a man-made environmental disaster into stubborn optimists with heroic perseverance. The people of southwest Kansas come alive, with recognizable personalities, foibles, and prejudices. This is an excellent social history of that extraordinary time."--Great Plains Quarterly
"Provides new information and insight concerning the attitudes, coping mechanisms, ingenuity, and despair of the people who populated a part of the Dust Bowl. Full of rich information."--Western Historical Quarterly
"Recommended reading for anyone concerned with the history of environmental and public welfare policies, as well as agricultural history and rural social history."--American Historical Review
"A finely crafted social history. Stark and evocative photos enhance the work."--Journal of American History
"Riney-Kehrberg makes a great contribution to our understanding of the Depression in rural and small town America. She illustrates the exhaustion of those who faced year after year of economic and ecological devastation and the creativity with which they met these obstacles. Her descriptions of everyday life in the years of drought and blowing dust are excellent."--Mary Neth, author of Preserving the Family Farm
"An excellent social history of the Dust Bowl. A major contribution to the history of the Great Plains."--R. Douglas Hurt, author of The Dust Bowl: An Agricultural and Social History
