It beautifully details the dramatic events of The Hard Winter of 1880-81, a harrowing time with months of never-ending blizzards leading to railroad blockades that all but cut off fledgling communities. But what really happened that winter? Lively and rewarding, The Beautiful Snow is a new look at The Hard Winter. 520 $a Pulling from nearly three thousand regional newspaper articles, The Beautiful Snow weaves the historical record around and through Wilder's fictionalized account. From the tireless efforts to dig out the railroad blockades, to lavish oyster parties, to carefully spun boosterism, The Hard Winter comes to life with extraordinary tales of survival, resilience, and defiance that adds rich context to Wilder's beloved novel. 650 $a Wilder, Laura Ingalls, 1867-1957 650 $a Frontier and pioneer life 008 s2020 941 $a 12 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011106.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20230325010856.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230317010557.0 952 $l KLPC566 $d 20230104014336.0 952 $l EJPD605 $d 20220707103327.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024247.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022756.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210601010647.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210209010515.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20200929011758.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010454.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20200604011008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C0376BFAA62811EABC950BF596128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
