1933, the midst of the Great Depression. You just so happened to live in Oklahoma. In the middle of the dust bowl…

The land was bare, covered with dust and sand and ash. Livestock was dead. Plants were dead. Your poor house was on its last life. But where could you go?

Californian’s prohibited “Okies”, as they called people who lived in Oklahoma, from coming to California for a better life- tired of fighting for jobs and housing as more people came-

Same with Arizona…the country was in disarray…what could you do…? One more dust storm and your house would fall, you could very well perish within a second…
