What Was the Children's Blizzard of 1888? (What Was?)

What Was the Children's Blizzard of 1888? (What Was?)

ISBN-13: 9780593520710
Learn about the deadly and unexpected blizzard that slammed the Midwestern United States in 1888 and doomed many young lives in this addition to the New York Times Best-selling "What Was?" series.

On January 12, 1888, a surprise blizzard broke out in the middle of the day across the Midwest. In its path, hundreds of children and teachers found themselves stranded inside schoolhouses with no food, no heat, and very few options.

Days passed, and over 235 people died as a result of the harsh snow of the Schoolhouse Blizzard, but many were able to survive thanks to the bravery of others in their communities.

Learn all about the disastrous weather conditions and the people who were affected by it in this book for young readers.
