Happyland a history of the "dirty thirties" in Saskatchewan, 1914-1937

McManus, Curtis R. 1972- (Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: "Dirty Thirties" is the sobriquet commonly applied to the agricultural crisis in the drylands of southern Saskatchewan that coincided with the Great Depression, and it is often assumed that prior to this period healthier, normal conditions prevailed. In Happyland, Curtis McManus contends that the "Dirty Thirties," as we understand the terms to mean agricultural devastation, drought, misery, starvation, and land abandonment, actually began much earlier and were contacted only peripherally to the Depression itself.
