It seemed as if it could get no worse, but on Sunday, the 14th of April 1935, it got worse. The day is known in history as “Black Sunday,” when a mountain of blackness swept across the High Plains and instantly turned a warm, sunny afternoon into a horrible blackness that was darker than the darkest night.

That's because people dig out the land for farming for a long time, and the land was a huge grassland across Colorado and Montana, it spent a long time to became the grassland. In that time, lots of people developed their agriculture industry in the short time, and then, lots of dust amd clay were uncovered. Until one day, the great wind came, to blew up these dust, and destory lots of farming lands, at least ten millions acres land were useless, farmers can't plant their crops on these land. And it caused the high prices crops at that time, because they can't harvest crops as many as before, they can' earn enought money for their own! I think Billie's family would face the great crisis, even in Great Depression, they still can plant crops to make monry. But after the Duast bowl, they can't plant them, they can't make enough money for theit family, that is, Billie needs to use her cleverness, to think the best way to solve it, especially in the spring, which is the season to plant crops!

The first transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869, and most of the Indians got confined to reservations throughout the 1870s. Homesteading, based on a model of non-irrigated dryland farming, was based on quarter sections (160 acres.) Powell, who had a lot of friends in high places in Washington, argued that was too small a claim for a ranch operation, and more than was needed for a successful irrigated farm. Powell had it pretty much right about the right acreage for a farming operation on the high plains, where rainfall was pretty scarce. (The 100th meridian demarcates the east side of the Texas panhandle.) As it happens, the 1870s were a pretty wet decade in this same country where Dances with Wolves was set. Happens sometimes, just like droughts happen sometimes. Another of the western survey teams was led by Ferdinand Hayden.

The dirt blew from a combination of prolonged drought and that grasslands had been plowed and planted to wheat and/or over-grazed, which proved to be a poor agricultural endeavor for the particular time and place.

Black Sunday History
One of the nation’s greatest novels, The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck, chronicled the story of farmers displaced by the disaster and the Great Depression. His novel was published on April 14, 1939, exactly four years after Black Sunday. Steinbeck felt his book would not be widely popular, saying, “I’ve done by damndest to rip a reader’s nerves to rags.” Dorothea Lange was hired as a photographer to chronicle the devastation of the region, a now famous portfolio of documentary photographic art. The great folk song writer and singer, Woody Gutherie, was 22 when the Black Sunday storm rolled through his home in Pampa, Texas. He wrote the song, “So Long, It’s Been Good To Know Yuh,’” about the storm. His lyrics include the following: “A dust storm hit, an’ it hit like thunder; It dusted us over, an’ it covered us under; Blocked out the traffic an’ blocked out the sun, Straight for home all the people did run, Singin’: So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh.
