“God didn’t create this land around here to be plowed
up…He created it for Indians and Buffalo. Folks raped this
land, they raped it bad.”
Melt White, Dustbowl survivor as quoted in Tim Eagan’s, “The Worst Hard Time”
At its peak, the Dust Bowl covered one hundred million acres. As dust swept over the southern plains of the U.S., an area the size of Pennsylvania was left in ruins. Inavale, NE, located on the south central corridor of Nebraska, was one of the casualties. To this day it remains a ghost town.
