Dust, drought, depression and war—the posts

Over the life of this blog, I have posted many, many times on the great depression and the dust bowl, usually just sharing images, sometimes going into more depth.  This new “project” will take a different approach.  There will still be relevant photos or images—I can’t see doing a post without at least one image—but there will also be content associated with the period from the crash of the stock market to the end of World War II, usually including one or more of the themes dust, drought, depression, and war.
