The storms buried crops, blinded animals, and suffocated children. It was a catastrophe that would change the course of American history as people struggled to survive in this hostile environment, or took the the roads as Dust Bowl refugees. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, in riveting, accessible prose, and illustrated with moving historical quotations and photographs, acclaimed historian Albert Marrin explains the causes behind the disaster and investigates the Dust Bowl's imact on the land and the people. Both a tale of natural destruction and a tribute to those who refused to give up, this is a beautiful exploration of an important time in our country's past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puffin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142425794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 11.10w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e132461 \/ Years of Dust: The Story of the Dust Bowl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Albert Marrin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43111996817589,"sku":"9780142425794","price":9.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3b7051b6-8a33-47d4-b5c8-fbd16802a5b6.jpg?v=1693926422","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/years-of-dust-the-story-of-the-dust-bowl-9780142425794","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
