dust bowl relic

near the town of Vian, Ok. on the Arkansas River, this old shack was likely the home of a poor or tenant farmer in the dust bowl era...famed photographer Dorothea Lange photographed many such places and people in the Vian area in the 1930's...Lange's photos inspired John Steinbeck's novel "Grapes of Wrath" set in this rural county...this resilient culture also produced folk singer Woody Guthrie born just down the road in Okemah
