Book excerpt: “David Laskin deploys historical fact of the finest grain to tell the story of a monstrous blizzard that caught the settlers of the Great Plains utterly by surprise. . . . This is a book best read with a fire roaring in the hearth and a blanket and box of tissues near at hand.” — Erik Larson, author of The Devil in the White City “Heartbreaking. . . . This account of the 1888 blizzard reads like a thriller.” — Entertainment Weekly The gripping true story of an epic prairie snowstorm that killed hundreds of newly arrived settlers and cast a shadow on the promise of the American frontier. January 12, 1888, began as an unseasonably warm morning across Nebraska, the Dakotas, and Minnesota, the weather so mild that children walked to school without coats and gloves. But that afternoon, without warning, the atmosphere suddenly, violently changed. One moment the air was calm; the next the sky exploded in a raging chaos of horizontal snow and hurricane-force winds. Temperatures plunged as an unprecedented cold front ripped through the center of the continent. By the next morning, some five hundred people lay dead on the drifted prairie, many of them children who had perished on their way home from country schools. In a few terrifying hours, the hopes of the pioneers had been blasted by the bitter realities of their harsh environment. Recent immigrants from Germany, Norway, Denmark, and the Ukraine learned that their free homestead was not a paradise but a hard, unforgiving place governed by natural forces they neither understood nor controlled. With the storm as its dramatic, heartbreaking focal point, The Children's Blizzard captures this pivotal moment in American history by tracing the stories of five families who were forever changed that day. David Laskin has produced a masterful portrait of a tragic crucible in the settlement of the American heartland. The P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Download or read book Blizzard on the Plains written by Heather Kauffman-Peters and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FREEZING TO DEATH IS NOT AN OPTION WHEN YOUR FRIENDS ARE DEPENDING ON YOU TO SAVE THEIR LIVES... On January 12, 1888, the people of the Dakota territory were enjoying an unusually warm day, the first break from the snow they'd had in weeks. Children walked to school and homesteaders did chores completely unaware that a dangerous storm was barreling toward them. That morning, new immigrants Carl and Carrie arrived at their one-room school house. Carrie was eager to practice English while Carl secretly plotted to return to Norway and leave America and its hardships far behind. He'd been attacked by a wolf, bullied by a classmate, and over-worked by his father who'd insisted Carl help carve the family's new farm out of the tough prairie sod. But, soon, 14-year-old Carl would face something far worse - the deadliest blizzard in U.S. history. Although the characters in this story are fictional, the blizzard that swept across the Midwestern United States on January 12, 1888, was very real. The sudden snowstorm claimed many lives, including children on their way to and from school. Because of the tragic loss, the storm became known as the Schoolchildren's Blizzard. Readers can learn more about the real weather event in the special 20-page bonus material found at the back of the book. The nonfiction section includes stories from real survivors plus facts about the Schoolchildren's Blizzard, hypothermia, frostbite, and life on the Great Plains during the late 1800s. Praise for Blizzard on the Plains: "Kauffman-Peters has obviously put a ton of effort into getting the details right: everything from Norwegian culture to the construction of sod houses on the Great Plains is detailed and believable. I enjoyed Blizzard on the Plains and look forward to Kauffman-Peters' next work." - Mike Mullin, author of ASHFALL series
