Also made into a play produced by WPA Federal Theatre Project in NYC, 1938. Wade Barnett moves from Nebraska in the 1930s with his ailing mother and feisty Aunt Jane to try to save his mother’s health. He buys a farm near the town of Chobee and contends with the harsh land and weather conditions as well his hostile Cracker neighbors. The novel culminates with a monster hurricane that blows away his enemies after he has saved his neighbor Celie’s farmhand, Clay, from a lynch mob. Good picture of rural Florida in the 1930s. ( )
