Carol (Iowa)--The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin. What an excellent book that covers more than just a blizzard. Laskin tells about a number of topics from the history of meterology, the immigration movement to America, the trials and tribulations of settling the great Midwest, a glimpse of early American politics, to the devastation of a powerful blizzard. You will leave the pages of this book, with a greater understanding of a thrilling time in history. Look out, the grueling details of freezing to death may just exhaust you!
