Waiting On The Bounty The Dust Bowl Diary Of Mary Knackstedt Dyck

The daughter of German immigrants, Mary Knackstedt married Henry Dyck, a Mennonite farmer, and in 1905 moved west to a settlement near Lamont Township in Hamilton County, Kansas. For the next thirty years they enjoyed growth and prosperity. Then the drought and dust storms that had driven many farmers from the region in the early years of the century returned. The Dycks remained on their farm and witnessed the mass exodus of farmers and townspeople -- including close friends and family -- who fled the Kansas wheat country to find work.Riney-Kehrberg, Pamela is the author of 'Waiting On The Bounty The Dust Bowl Diary Of Mary Knackstedt Dyck', published 2005 under ISBN 9780877459323 and ISBN 0877459320.
