"The Worst Hard Time" by Timothy Egan is a book that vividly describes the impact of the Dust Bowl on farmers in the Great Plains during the 1930s. It explores the environmental devastation, economic hardships, and human resilience of those who lived through this challenging period in American history.
That was the Dust Bowl.
The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. It was caused by a combination of drought, poor land management practices, and high winds that led to soil erosion and widespread dust storms. The Dust Bowl resulted in significant economic hardship for farmers and forced many to migrate to find work elsewhere.
The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic downturn that began in 1929 and lasted through the late 1930s, characterized by high unemployment, deflation, and widespread poverty. During the Dust Bowl, which coincided with this period, many farmers faced devastating consequences, including the loss of crops due to severe drought and soil erosion. This compelled numerous families to abandon their farms and migrate in search of better opportunities, particularly to California. Additionally, the economic strain worsened their financial instability, leading to increased foreclosures and poverty.
The "Dust Bowl" was the loss of farmland to drought and erosion in the 1930s. Many farmers left the Great Plains during the height of the Great Depression (1934-1936) and migrated to other areas, especially California, where some found work as migrant laborers.
A lot of fast food places people work at. Also, they deliver cows and chickens.
The Salinas Valley during the 1930s was very productive in the area crops but not in the area of employment rights. Its geography and weather was a critical part of letting the crops grow properly.
Salinas' economic activity in the 1930s was more on hunting. The community also had partial dependence on natural acorn crops.

During the 1930s, many farmers in the United States faced significant hardships due to the Great Depression and severe drought conditions, particularly in the Dust Bowl region. Crop prices plummeted, leading to widespread financial distress, and many farmers lost their land to foreclosure. The drought caused soil erosion and failed harvests, exacerbating the economic challenges. As a result, millions of farming families struggled to survive, leading many to migrate in search of better opportunities.
The background scenes for "Of Mice and Men" were filmed on location in California. Specific filming locations included the Salinas Valley and the town of Soledad, capturing the essence of the novel's setting in 1930s rural California during the Great Depression.
