Trailing The SchoolChildren's Blizzard with Lois Preheim

Description

May’s Feed Your Mind is author Lois Preheim speaking on her book “Trailing the Schoolchildren’s Blizzard”. It is the story of the January 12, 1888 blizzard as experienced by families living in ten locations along the storm route. The storm struck suddenly and caught people off guard as it trailed through the Great Plains of Canada, the United States, and Territories. Many found ingenious ways to reach safety and/or pass the time while waiting for the storm to subside. Family stories are capsulized in a poem preceding the ten stand-alone chapters, trying the chapters together in the common thread of experiencing the storm’s fury. Lois will also answer questions you might have. Be sure to join us at noon on May 6th.
