Dust to Eat: Drought and Depression in the 1930s   Michael L. Cooper
Brief but excellent history of the conditions of the depression and dust bowl in the 1930s, and the resulting migration of hundreds of thousands of people to California. Clear, simple prose highlighted by excellent Dorothea Lange photographs. Not a lot of detail, but good broad strokes for an effective overview. Goes well with my other reading on the period.
