This Book, the first full-length treatment of the subject, tells the story of the Dust Bowl--those portions of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Kansas that suffered drought and wind erosion of legendary severity between 1932 and 1938. Unlike earlier accounts of this period, Paul Bonnifield's is based largely on personal interviews and local sources. The result is a thorough, detailed, and readable piece of social history, deeply sympathetic to the hardworking people who struggled to survive poverty and hostile weather... (From Book's front-flap)
Reviews about Dust Bowl: Men, Dirt and Depression (3):
Perius
My family lived in the very heart of the dust bowl--Stanton County, Western Kansas and the Cimarron in Oklahoma at Gate, now nearly nonexistent. I arrived in the world while it was being cleaned up, leveled out and recovered from. I grew up with the terminology the author used and it set many trains of thought going and double checking with my peers for their memories. We had no idea of the government involvement and it had worked against the farmers of that region.The book did a very good job of exposing that. And I do know that a lot of towns simply disappeared from that region by people who had worked hard to "prove up" on their homesteads but gave up with the dust bowl. My parents moved during the dust bowl to the mountains of Colorado where we knew Paul Bonnifield and he broke our horses including one of mine and I do know nobody could do a better job of training horses than he did. His book was a surprise and one that I can highly recommend to those with a common interest.

Bonnifield's little known study of the Dust Bowl is a comprehensive, if a little dry, investigation of the counties making up the core of the High Plains drough in the 1930s. Some common myths are explored and often exploded.

The author, who lived in the area while writing the book, used local sources, including extensive interviews. Nicely illustrated with photographs not seen in other works (again mostly of local origin).

Anyone interested in the history of agriculture in the American west should be familiar with Bonnifield's work.

From what I've read so far, it's intelligent writing. One can tell Mr. Bonnefield did much research.
