Its mostly a collection of stories and antidotes from historical sources. There is no real thread that holds them together. Kind of like a compendium of CNN stories, if the storm had happened in the past 30 years. ( ) no reviews | add a review

"Well-researched, well-written, and highly engaging"- National ReviewHere is the dramatic story of the Blizzard of 1888, which caused havoc up and down the East coast of the United States. Award-winning author Mary Cable recreates - in all its human and natural drama - the three-day debacle that began on the night of Sunday, March 11, 1888. We meet the heroes and villains alike as they struggle through the mounting snow and icy winds to keep the wheels of civilization from grinding to a halt. The Blizzard of 88 is a moving and dramatic history in the tradition of David McCullough's classic The Johnstown Flood. No library descriptions found. |
