This book was interesting to me because I was unfamiliar with the horrendous blizzard that hit Nebraska, the Dakotas and Minnesota in 1888. I appreciate the research the author did to educate the rest of us. However, since I am not interested in the intricacies of weather, some of the chapters were not interesting to me. I appreciated the human interest stories but because the author kept jumping from one story to another and back again, I had a hard time remembering who was who sometimes. And I was puzzled and saddened by the lack of any reporting of the Native American population and how the blizzard affected them. However any reader will be affected by the grief and mourning that accompanied the blizzard of 1888.
