Detailed explanation-1: -Driven by the depression, drought, and the Dust Bowl, thousands upon thousands left their homes in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri. Over 300, 000 of them came to California. They looked to California as a land of promise. Not since the Gold Rush had so many people traveled in such large numbers to the state.
Detailed explanation-2: -The one-two punch of economic depression and bad weather put many farmers out of business. In the early 1930s, thousands of Dust Bowl refugees-mainly from Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and New Mexico-packed up their families and migrated west, hoping to find work.
