In a tour de force of historical reportage, Timothy Egan's National Book Award-winning story rescues an iconic chapter of American history from the shadows.

The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkest years of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before or since. Following a dozen families and their communities through the rise and fall of the region, Timothy Egan tells of their desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dust blizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantly capturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, he does equal justice to the human characters who become his heroes, "the stoic, long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgency and respect" (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greater natural disasters, The Worst Hard Time is "arguably the best nonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatest environmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and a powerful reminder about the dangers of trifling with nature.

Great Quality and Price
These are the perfect weight for cool Arizona nights and make a great layer for colder climates. The fleece lining is very soft and comfortable and the shirt is true to size. Great price for excellent quality.

By far the best 1/4 pull over zip I have ever bought - 5 stars
This is the most comfortable and best looking pullover 1/4 zip I have ever bought. It looks really good on me and it is super soft, but not too soft that it looks cheap. I did not get hot in it and I get hot easy in long sleeves. It breaths well and yet also kept me from a chilly breeze. The collar is one of the best I have ever found for a pull over like this as it does not poke me and it stays upright and looks very sharp. The only thing about it is that I had to put it in my steam dryer and then hang upside down to dry overnight as it had a few wrinkles in it when it came. So it is not 1,000% wrinkle free, but after wearing it half a day it did not wrinkle at all. As long as you keep it on a long wooden hanger I do not think it will wrinkle. If you dont have long wooden hangers thought, since it is a tad heavy, the shoulders I think would get bumps hanging a long time in the closet on a short hanger (like all long sleeve shirts with a little weight like this would). I got this one as it was I thought the most masculine color match. I would love to see this in other colors and keep everything else the same. I love the inner collar pattern design as it gives it a nice look. I am 5'11" and about 230 lbs and it fit me in a XL perfect. I have broad shoulder and bigger chest and a bit of a dad bod, so I wanted something that is not baggy nor snug on my mid area (so I don't look fat). This is the perfect length too, it is long enough it won't come up if I reach up and show my stomach, and long enough to be a tag long in the back, but short enough that it doesn't look too long. All in all, this size and fit was perfect for me. My style is I want to look good but I have to be comfortable and that is not the easiest to do, but this with some nice pants (of any kind) is a really sharp look and comfortable.

Great shirts at a reasonable price.
Great shirts for the price. The fit is true to size, and they have a quality look that rivals shirts 5 times the price. Definitely recommend.
