Locust: The Devastating Rise and Mysterious Disappearance of the Insect that Shaped the American Frontier by Jeffrey A. Lockwood

3.0

Unique book about the Rocky Mountain Locust, which swept through Kansas in 1874, devastating the state. Follows the various incidents when the RML invaded the Great Plains, and offers a theory why the invasions stopped suddenly after 1900. Obscure history, but worth reading if you have an interest in the Plains.
