“The
life and writings of Caroline Henderson offer one of the more compelling
stories of the American Experience.”
Henderson’s articles during the 1930s gave readers a vivid description
of the dust storms that ravaged the Plains, and helped her fellow citizens
understand many of the problems facing the American farmer. This collection
of letters and articles presents an intimate portrait of her life. Her
writing mirrors her love of the land and the literature that sustained
her as she struggled for survival.
