Last Man Club

The Last Man Club was a mutual support group for farmers that chose to stay in the Southern Plains of Texas in spite of the devastation caused by the Dust Bowl disaster of the 1930s. It was the first American Dream. John McCarty, an editor of the Dalhart Texan, formed the Last Man Club in Dalhart, Texas as a mutual support group for those farmers that chose to stay in the drought-swept Great Plains or, as he called it, "Grab a Root and Growl."
