Fascinating

This is a riveting account of almost unbelievable mid Western blizzards and how people and animals were affected by the massive amounts of snow, wind and extreme cold. The force of nature is vividly illustrated as well as people's amazing willingness to help others. Mr. Alleman relates events with compassion but without added drama. A great read of historic events.

Bad winter

This is a great book detailing events of the storm that winter. It bought back and added to memories I have of that winter — i was child and unaware of much that happened .

customer review

the book was reasonably priced, arrived in a short time and the material in the book was very interesting to me as I grew up in one of the states affected by the blizzard. Quick and easy to read anyone should enjoy.

Book is back into print

As the daughter of the Author, Roy Alleman, I wish to report that this book is back into print.

Great factual information

I think that this is a book that very accurately describes what the winter of 1949 was like. After reading the book I talked to various people that lived in rural Nebraska at that time and they said that what was discussed in the book was very much like what they lived through. I plan on using the book as part of my lessons on Nebraska History for my students.

Worst blizzard in history covered all or parts of 10 states`

Excellent,easy reading of real life stories of farmers, ranchers, pilots, US Army personel of a major snow storm that first hit in November 1948 and again in January of 1949. Affected people in the all or parts of 10 western states. A national effort to rescue people and lifestock. A human drama and of heavy losses of lifestock.
