19. Economic and Political Change between the Wars
The Dust Bowl, Kansas
Conditions portrayed in this view were many of the reasons why farming families living in other parts of the country moved to the Pacific Northwest during the Depression years. This "dust bowl scene" was photographed in Kansas in 1935. (Special Collections Division, University of Washington Libraries. Stovall Studios, Dodge City, Kansas.
