Query: A Pioneer Tale of Courage and Tragedy

The Children's Blizzard is a fascinating tale of the tragic blizzard striking without warning to the Prairie states in 1888. As an Iowa native I was fascinated by the human stories told by Mr. Laskin. His research is impeccable an he provides touching insight into the life of the midwest pioneer families and most importantly the children. My only criticism would be the sometimes redundant very dry information about weather systems and predictions. It is interesting to a point but most probably only those as fascinated by weather as the author would find it necessary to the degree it is explained. The human story is the more intriquing. Regardless, I loved the book and am incredibly grateful to those hardy souls who stayed in the prairies despite the harshest of circumstances. I can't imagine living then. Thanks to Mr. Laskin for exploring their lives and telling the truth.
