About the event
Book written by David Laskin. "This account of the 1888 blizzard reads like a thriller." - Entertainment Weekly - "...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."
