Book excerpt: "This is a tale about man's struggle to control a unique, enticing, merciless section of our country known as the Southern Great Plains. It has its setting in the western third of Kansas, the southeastern corner of Colorado and the northeastern corner of New Mexico, the Oklahoma Panhandle, and the plains of Texas--the region of the Dust Bowl. It is a story of hopeful invasions and broken-hearted retreats, which for more than eight centuries now have been the central theme of Southern Plains history. It is about the farmer, and the greatest controlling factor of his existence--the weather."--Book preface.
