The 1930s Dust Bowl ravaged the Great Plains. Some forget that the Dakotas suffered just as bad as
southern plains states like Texas and Oklahoma. This course will cover the causes of the Dust Bowl and
compare its effects in the Southern and Northern Plains. We will also consider the possibility of another
Dust Bowl in the future.
