The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan was filled with many amazing episodes of survival. When I finished the book, a few things struck me the most:
- Those who chose to tough it out during the Dust Bowl, are they to be admired, or were they foolish and stubborn?
- Is any one person, or group, responsible for the disaster that was the Dust Bowl?
- Are there any parallels between the Dust Bowl and any other man-made ecological disasters in history? Was there ever a time when mankind altered nature for the better?
We'll be meeting to discuss this book April 9th, at the Main Library in Conference Room 3 at noon.
