The Long, Hard Winter of 1880-81 - What was it Really Like?

Description: The Long, Hard Winter of 1880-81 - What was it Really Like?. Condition is Brand New. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic novel The Long Winter tells the riveting story of the winter of 1880-81. She wrote of three day blizzards, forty ton trains stuck in the snow, houses buried in snowdrifts and a town that nearly starved. Was Laura's story just fiction, or was that one winter stranger than fiction? Was that winter really that bad, or was it just a typical old time winter stretched a bit to make a good tale? Author Dan L. White examines the reality of the long, hard winter using contemporary newspaper articles, autobiographies and historical accounts of those who lived through that time to weave a fascinating story of the incredible winter of 1880-81. About the Author:Dan L. White and his family settled in the Ozarks some 35+ years ago about 12 miles up the road from Laura's Rocky Ridge Farm. There they live on a forty acre Ozark farmstead, with cows, horses, chickens, goats, blackberries, black walnuts, ticks and chiggers. Dan L. White has authored several other books about Laura's life as well:https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/2791918.Dan_L_White
