This is one of the saddest books I have ever encountered. I could not imagine what these people went through during that blizzard in 1888. I cried when reading parts of it. This is definatly a must read if you are intrested in Amaerican history. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because several chapters talked about meterology. I thought that without some sort of flow chart or map it's very hard to understand the conditions in how the blizzard started unless you are a student of meterology. It was a lot of information to try and understand.
