Blizzard! by Jim Murphy
The Storm That Changed America
A gripping, narrative nonfiction account of the devastating blizzard of March 1888 that buried the northeastern United States under enormous drifts, immobilized cities and railroads, stranded passengers and livestock, and left hundreds dead; reconstructed from newspapers, letters, diaries, and photographs, the book follows ordinary people, rescuers, and officials through harrowing rescues and losses and shows how the catastrophe exposed vulnerabilities in infrastructure and public services and prompted lasting changes in how communities prepared for and responded to extreme weather.
