Next Year Country: Dust to Dust in Western Kansas, 1890-1940 - Craig Miner

A portrait of western Kansas, this work recounts the resilience of Kansans through two depressions and the Dust Bowl, showing how the region changed dramatically - not for the better, some might say. It blends the voices of real people with writings of small-town journalists to show life as it was really lived from 1890 to 1940.
