Dust+Bowl

From the pictures and the letters in the slide show, i learned that the dust bowl was a very hard time for the people of the dust bowl area. The dust storms would ravage their homes forcing them to sometimes live in cars. Many people tried to fight the dust, but they could only continue do so as long as they kept a hope that the dust would subside one day. From the letter i learned that many of the people who stayed in the dust bowl stayed only because of tradition and they didn't want to loose their homes. It seemed that often their friends and relatives woluld try to make them leave, but it was to no avail.
