Raised in and around the West Texas steppe country where temperatures reached 100 degrees with regularity, he began life as the Dust Bowl and Great Depression converged. “It was all in books,” he would later admit. He came for the hawks. This was the world of Tom Cade early in the last century. The concern possessed him.
