An engaging, exceptional, nostalgic novel of yesteryear. April 7, 2000
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Meridian One is a novel about the men and women who stayed behind on the Great Plains during the destructive dust storms and droughts of the mid 1930s. This is an intimate story of what Kansas farming life was like during the century's seminal years and how people continued to have fun in spite of the hardships born of the Great Depression. communities formed their own entertainment with folk music and stage presentations, charlatans in medicine shows and on the radio appealed to men's sexual weaknesses with promises of reliable cures, preachers warned that the dust storms were signs of the world's end nearing, kids entertained themselves with old fashioned games and made toys from scraps found in farm yard junk piles, and made pets of farm animals. The Meridian One is an engaging, exceptional, nostalgic novel of an American yesteryear when the times were tough but the folks still had fun.
