Introduction

Exploring the Dust Bowl

You and three of your colleagues have been hired by a museum to develop a scrapbook that details the effects of the Dust Bowl on the land and the people of the 1930’s. Your group will be responsible for informing visitors of the events of the Dust Bowl as well as the effects of the Dust Bowl on the land, economy, people, and attitude of the 1930’s. The museum wants your scrapbook to inspire its visitors to further understand this phenomenon.
