Why You Wouldn't Survive the Dust Bowl | History For Sleep

Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianTonight on Drowsy Historian, we step into the slow-motion disaster that was the Dust Bowl — not as an outsider, but as someone living it. You’re not a pioneer. You’re not a symbol. You’re just one of thousands of ordinary farmers who watched the sky turn black, the earth turn to ash, and the future turn into something quiet and cruel.From the hopeful lies of the Homestead Act to the biblical arrival of dust storms, from coughing children and eroded dreams to the failed promise of California’s orchards, this is a story about what it means to survive something that doesn’t care if you do.We won’t glorify it. We won’t clean it up. This is what it looked like when the sky gave up on you — and the land did too.
