ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Worst Hard Time” by Timothy Egan chronicles the Dust Bowl, one of the most devastating environmental disasters in U.S. history. Focusing on the southern Great Plains during the 1930s, the book explores the human and environmental toll of over-farming, drought, and relentless dust storms. Through vivid personal stories, Egan examines the resilience of families who endured extreme isolation, poverty, and loss. The book addresses themes of ecological mismanagement, the consequences of human interaction with nature, and the social and economic impacts of the Great Depression, offering a powerful reflection on survival and human determination.
