Children of the Dust Bowl: The True Story of the School at Weedpatch Camp

Children of the Dust Bowl is the compelling story of the "Okie" migration to California of the 1930s and of the construction and life of a remarkable school at a farm workers' camp there. Told largely in the words of the migrants themselves, and generously illustrated with period photographs, this memorable book provides a glimpse of a neglected period of American history and tells a story of prejudice being transformed into acceptance and despair into hope.
