Highlights

THE DUST BOWL — 1931-1939

For most of a decade the southern plains blew away. Drought, deep plowing that stripped the native grass, and wind turned parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico into a place where the topsoil left in the air. On April 14, 1935 — remembered as Black Sunday — a single storm carried an estimated three hundred million tons of soil east. Around two and a half million people left the plains. It remains one of the largest migrations in American history, and it changed how this country thinks about land.

This print treats the Dust Bowl as a place rather than a disaster photograph — a region name set like civic signage, with the years it lasted. Part of an ongoing series of American literary and historical places.

MADE FOR
History teachers and classrooms, readers of Steinbeck, Egan, and Guthrie, anyone with plains roots, and people who want wall art with something behind it.
