This book is about the blizzard that occured on the Great Plains on Jan. 12, 1888. The story is told from every angle including history and description about the location, biographies of those involved, meteorlogical information, etc. Some of the information gets a bit overwhelming but the author has done a great job in making the facts easy to understand while moving seamlessly between facts, history, and stories. Very interesting read, although I reccommend reading it on a warm day because the story itself can chill you to the bone. Its July but at times I felt as though a blizzard must be raging outside.
