CHAPTER 7 — The Yuma Man

THE ILL WINDS THAT SCOURGED the ancient lake beds of Clovis breathed their hot breath on other places as well. Year after year the “dust-bowl blasts” abraded the desiccated soil from the face of the land. Droughts withered the grass and bushes that might have withstood the scouring air. Whole trees were uncovered to their roots, so that they toppled and lay as wooden skeletons while the winds blew away the soil that gave them life.

Top-soil accumulations of all the ages since the great glacial period were whipped into the air in a few short years. In places in Texas and eastern Colorado, more than 20 feet of dirt were blown away in less than 10 years.
