This is a well researched account of the Hard Winter of 1880-1881 and the detrimental effect severe weather had on 5 railroad lines in eastern Dakota Territory, along with their residents. It is apparent that many fledgling towns quickly became dependent on the railroads for food, coal & wood. The photos are interesting but I gave the book a so-so rating as the regimented outline writing style is not reader friendly. There are 1178 endnotes. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"The Long Winter is one of the most memorable novels in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. It beautifully details the dramatic events of The Hard Winter of 1880-81, a harrowing time with months of never-ending blizzards leading to railroad blockades that all but cut off fledgling communities. But what really happened that winter? Lively and rewarding, The Beautiful Snow is a new look at The Hard Winter. Pulling from nearly three thousand regional newspaper articles, The Beautiful Snow weaves the historical record around and through Wilder's fictionalized account. From the tireless efforts to dig out the railroad blockades, to lavish oyster parties, to carefully spun boosterism, The Hard Winter comes to life with extraordinary tales of survival, resilience, and defiance that adds rich context to Wilder's beloved novel" -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
