Farmers and other industries were devastated by the Great Depression and the low economic status was made worse by the Dustbowl. By the end of the decade in 1939, Oklahoma had passed through many changes and had been shaped by the many recovery and relief projects enacted to counteract the effects of the twin emergencies.

of them, 60 million in all. It is 1860, and the buffalo roam freely
wherever they please on the Great Plains. George Catlin, an American artist, traveled
