"While doing research for his book, the WINTER YEARS, James Gray discovered many significant facts relating to the conquest of the prairie drought. He found that the dust bowl of the dirty thirties didn't just disappear of its own accord when the rains came back, that many dedicated Canadians working in the agricultural field mounted a massive campaign to prevent the western farmland from deteriorating into a wind-blown wasteland of sand dunes, buckbrush and pasture sage".
