Reapers of the Dust: A Prairie Chronicle

Lois Phillips Hudson is recognised as a major chronicler of America’s agricultural heartland during the grim years of the Great Depression. Reapers of the Dust , now reprinted for a new generation of readers, vividly evokes that difficult time. From Hudson’s childhood in North Dakota spring these unusual, moving stories of simple, joyful days, of continuing battles with hostile elements, and of a family’s new life as migrant workers on the West Coast.
