Born on April 7, 1877 in Wisconsin, Caroline Agnes Boa' grew up on an Iowa farm. She graduated Mount Holyoke College in 1901. Until 1903 she taught English and Latin at a high school in Red Oak, Iowa, and then taught in Des Moines until 1907. From 1907 to her death in 1966, she farmed a land claim in the panhandle region of Oklahoma. In 1908, Caroline married a farmer named Wilhelmine Eugene Henderson, and they continued to farm, together, after their marriage, on land in Eva, Oklahoma. They raised one daughter, Eleanor, born in 1909. During their years of farming, her family weathered the droughts, dust storms, and blizzards that befell the region.
Caroline Henderson's letters about the events of the Dust Bowl period were published in Practical Farmer and in The Atlantic Monthly. Her letters detail both the prosperity of the period before the disaster, and the loss of crops, animals and other amenities during the Dust Bowl years.
In recent years, her letters have been featured prominently in the PBS documentary The Dust Bowl.
