“reliance upon records rather than upon memory or imagination”

“our climate is not necessarily changing, due to this or to that folly of mart, or to the eccentricity of nature. The country experienced droughts apparently quite as severe as those of 1934 and 1936 a hundred years ago, yes, even two hundred years ago. Dr. E. S. Marsh, who began to report the weather at Milwaukee in 1843, was reporting from Rochester, New York, in 1838. In September of that year he notes:. ‘Great drought prevails generally. Genesee River lower than ever known.’ It will be startling to those who are convinced of the recent creation of the American ‘Dust Bowl,’ to find Marsh in 1836, at Rochester, New York, recording a fearful dust storm.’ So much for reliance upon records rather than upon memory or imagination.”
