Many farmers in the Dust Bowl, in desperation, pulled up stakes and abandoned their land. They lost their farms to foreclosure and the tenant farmers or sharecroppers were evicted. They were displaced and joined the thousands of other families who headed west in search of work and a new life. The writing of this book is a labor of love and desire to record and preserve the history and heritage of the migrant workers. I have attempted to record the events that occurred in the lives of these families.
