“I tried to warn them but they just wouldn’t listen,” Chip McGraw said as he chewed the end of a piece of wheat and adjusted his overall pants. “Strange storms. That was the only way to describe them.” When it was real quiet, and everyone thought that things were getting better, the sky belched black gusts of dirt leaving women and men alike running for cover. So much of the 1930 Nebraska prairie had been dug up. Without grass to hold it in place, soil did not stay on the ground which created one of worst dust storms in history. The dry weather made the situation worse. The soil became crumbly like powder. “Everyone was just trying to get rich. All the prairie land was dug up. Now that it’s not raining, the dirt’s so dry that it’s not staying on the ground,” Chip continued. “I don’t know what I can do. I sure will try.”

Life was different 200 years ago. At first, women in America did not have many rights. Property ownership was often given to the male of a family even when a spouse died. Women were often thought of as being feeble and unable to learn or conduct business as men. Few women were able to work outside of the home, and society during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries limited the types of jobs that women could complete.

The stitches they learned enabled them to create tablecloths and clothing for the members of their families.
