Download or read book Blizzard of 77 written by Stephen L. Wood and published by . This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I started researching the Blizzard of 77 I was not aware of it's magnitude or the area it encompassed nor did I realize the impact it had on the thousands of people it affected, many three and four generation farmers and ranchers along with complete towns that could never quite recover from the total devastation. Not one time when I would ask for archival records from newspapers or libraries did I not find anyone that had not remembered the blizzard some were only seven but have vivid memories and a story. Stories came from coffee shops in the smaller towns and spread by word of mouth of my desire to hear their story. I chose only forty six stories to print from the over two hundred interviews but used references from most all. Twenty four human lives lost; three of which were school children let off their bus at a home never to go back to school again. A family froze to death except for one small child found wrapped in his mothers blouse with her frozen body covering him, and several other actual stories as told by the rescue personnel involved in their discovery. The Livestock losses were so extensive that to this day there has never been an actual loss record. What is known is that it had to be in the tens of thousands. One rancher never accounted for over ten thousand head lost. A lake where so many walked out on the ice and fell through that it was impossible to even estimate and the person that witnessed it. Thousands of sheep, hogs, chickens and even some domestic quail became victims of this three day plains blizzard with recorded winds of ninety eight miles per hour. An estimated seven thousand power poles and thousands of miles of their lines tangled or dangling from their broken polls leaving many without commercial power for six to seven weeks. Phone systems in the entire five state area none existent leaving communication only by Police, State Patrol, Sheriffs department and CB radio to handle the thousands of emergencies and distress calls. You will read personal accounts many never told to the public some so traumatic it will be hard to believe. Reported human and livestock deaths and what the papers wouldn't or couldn't report. Don't expect any sugar coating of the accounts printed they are what they were. Dont expect another storm story: You will learn about survival skills needed in many emergencies and how to prepare for electrical outages that seem to occur on a regular basis in this country. You will learn what not to look at that was lost during a storm but look at what you have that will make getting through the disaster possible and in many cases tolerable. Many deaths and sicknesses are caused by not being prepared for a disaster that seem to occur on a regular basis. Throughout this story you will learn of some very inexpensive items to have on hand if a disaster occurs. This as also a story that had a great impact on the beginning of the farm crises of the 1980s and how it contributed to the farming, ranching, food shortages and prices of today. This alone took a lot of research to get some facts that will undoubtedly make one give serious thought to our very essence of life eating . One review said it best This is a book that needed to be written; It amplifies the complacency many of us has as to electric power, communications, heat, water, sewage disposal, food and just our dependency on the modern way of life that could, and as demonstrated recently by mothers natures fury, can end in very little time.

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.

An excerpt from the book: 'I can still remember the thrill I experienced when my first folded book structure emerged from my fingers – how eager I was to explore its possibilities and to share it with whoever was interested. The Flag Book, as I now call it, is a simple accordion and has interlocking pages oriented in opposite directions. Little did I know that this simple structure would have legs and be the catalyst for the next forty–plus years of thinking about and making books. The common perception of the book today is fairly straightforward: a series of pages organized around a spine and protected on either side by two covers. This format allows for easy access, storage and retrieval of information. Yet what happens when the book is stripped away of centuries of preconceptions and is allowed to reveal something else: playfulness, utility, invention? Expanding the notion of the book is what the structures in the following chapters of The Art of the Fold attempt to do. Exploring its tactile, sculptural form, primarily through folding methods, the book as a structural object is celebrated while content is considered in a new and unconventional way. My range in this medium has always been broad. In part this is due to my introduction to the world of bookbinding and some chance encounters. In the 1970s in New York City, the art and craft of hand bookbinding and papermaking were experiencing an unprecedented revival. I was fortunate to arrive in the city at just this moment. With an art–school background and an impulse to make things, I was naturally drawn to pursue this new opportunity. The Center for Book Arts, the famous forerunner of so many centers yet to come, was located in a small storefront just down the street from where I lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Under the direction of founder Richard Minsky, it had a radical mission: to push concept, materials, printing and making of artist books in a new direction. When Richard dared me to teach at the Center one evening a week, I was hooked. My career as a book conservator and a book artist has now spanned over 45 years. As head conservator at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia, I've had the opportunity to handle some of the rarest volumes and manuscripts in the world. I have also dealt with decrepit books, torn maps and countless curiosities discovered in stacks and archives. All were endless sources for ideas and provided a springboard for a departure from tradition. Leading book–arts workshops around the world and a 25 year tenure teaching in the graduate program for Book Arts and Printmaking at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia have shown me, in retrospect, that the more I taught, t
