[AT] 1935-1940 Dust Bowl

[Herb Metz]

I thought Sundays two hour presentation was a typical Ken Burns program; very informative and probably very accurate.  Tonite will be the last two hours of this two part series.  The Atlanta PBS station immediately reran the show so we were able to catch some details that we missed during the initial two hour viewing.

Here is link to Ken Burns’ Nov 18 & 19 program about the Dust Bowl:  http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/dustbowl/
This is in addition to the depression of the 1930’s.  So many farms in our central KS area were lost that one 

banker took his own life. I started driving tractor in early 1940’s and can remember several places where sand 

had blown, creating large low spots, and down wind of these low spots were significant hills (deposits of sand).
