Abstract
The arrival of the miners, the empire building of the cattle ranchers, the dispersal of the Indian tribes--all serve as a prelude to a massive movement of farmers into the plains region. There is rapid agricultural growth in Great Plains and West between 1870-1900. The plains area, noted for its erratic weather patterns, is in a wet cycle during this growth period. In order to sell farmers on the idea of homesteading and investing they are told that "rain will follow plow." The drought of the 1890s is an economic and human disaster that illustrates how wrong that statement is.
