The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin
4.0
This is a compelling story. I have two warnings for potential readers.
He made a mistake in his reference to a discussion that Laura Ingalls Wilder records in her book "The Long Winter." He attributes a school yard conversation to Laura's sister Mary at a time when Mary no longer went to school because of her blindness. The conversation was between Laura and her friend Mary Power.
Do not read this book before bedtime if you are prone to dreams about anything disturbing that you read or watch.
