American History

I think, there was a story of a Dust Bowl survivor that moved me very much.

An older man, a fit, tall rancher-farmer decribed how as a boy during the Dust Bowl he had to fend off ravenous and overpopulated jack rabbits that were descending on areas like locusts- eating fences and entering houses in search of water and food.

He stood in front of their farmhouse with a baseball bat hitting dozens to prevent the property from being destroyed. As the man told the story he cried. The film footage of the large, aggressive rabbits was scary.
