The children's blizzard

Description:

Prior to the establishment of the National Weather Service, the U.S. Government lured homesteaders out to the Dakotas, Wyoming and other untested regions of the developing nations, partly by obscuring the harsh realties of the mercurial and deadly weather conditions in those areas. This non-fiction book details the tragic consequences--primarily to very young victims--of the "perfect storm" of 1888.
