The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl
Egan tells an extraordinary tale in this visceral account of how America’s great, grassy plains turned to dust, and how the ferocious plains winds stirred up an endless series of “black blizzards” that were like a biblical plague: “Dust clouds boiled up, ten thousand feet or more in the sky, and rolled like moving mountains” in what became known as the Dust Bowl. But the plague was man-made, as Egan shows: the plains weren’t suited to farming, and plowing up the grass to plant wheat, along with a confluence of economic disaster—the Depression—and natural disaster—eight years of drought—resulted in an ecological and human catastrophe that Egan details with stunning specificity. He grounds his tale in portraits of the people who settled the plains: hardy Americans and immigrants desperate for a piece of land to call their own and lured by the lies of promoters who said the ground was arable. Egan’s interviews with survivors produce tales of courage and suffering: Hazel Lucas, for instance, dared to give birth in the midst of the blight only to see her baby die of “dust pneumonia” when her lungs clogged with the airborne dirt. With characters who seem to have sprung from a novel by Sinclair Lewis or Steinbeck, and Egan’s powerful writing, this account will long remain in readers’ minds.

Seed?
June 28th, 2013
Anyone downloading & stuck: edit the torrent via this link http://torrenteditor.com/ and enable DHT/PEX, download the new torrent and bittorrent that, as this is flagged as a private torrent.

You cannot activate DHT on a private torrent.
Dan’s method above will create a new torrent with a different infohash; it will not seed with this torrent.
You can however add as many trackers as you like. But that only helps if the other users also add the same trackers.
Better to just make a new torrent, with DHT on, than try to fix this one.
Currently I see no seeds, but there is one tracker still alive: http://inferno.demonoid.me:3416/announce so if anyone can seed this, it should work.

PS — a more recent upload here:
http://audiobookbay.me/audio-books/the-worst-hard-time-the-untold-story-of-those-who-survived-the-great-american-dust-bowl-timothy-egan/
Cant see any seeds immediately, but it isn’t private so will work as long as anyone wants to seed it.
