Behind his chair is Childe Hassam's Flag Day, and to his right another Hassam, Old House at Easthampton. Near the door, Niagara Falls plunges silently, a swirl of delicate blues and pinks in an oil by John Twachtman.

The grit sifted into houses, causing eyes to burn and coating tongues. As visibility neared zero, motorists pulled to sides of roads, and highways were ordered closed. At week's end the dust had blown over the southeastern states, turning the sky a milky yellow. To many worried Westerners, the worst dust storm in some...
