The Decade of DEPRESSION

  • Dustball speech

    All that dust made some of the farmers leave; they became the Okies. We stuck it out here. We scratched, literally scratched, to live. We'd come to town to sell sour cream for nine cents a pound. If we could find a town big enough and far enough away from the dust, we could sell eggs at ten cents a dozen. Despite all the dust and the wind, we were putting in crops, but making no crops and barely living out of barnyard products only. We made five crop failures in five years.

Clyde shot down people for the sheer love of killing. Clyde was despised by other Midwestern bandits because they felt that his killings and robberies lowered the standards in profession.
