A Wyoming historian shares an in-depth look at the historic storm and its devastating aftermath through the stories of those who survived. The Blizzard of 1949 took Wyoming and neighboring states by surprise. In January of that year, snow, wind and frigid temperatures devastated the northern plains. The storm stranded hundreds of motorists on the highways and stalled nearly two dozen trains at depots throughout the state. For nearly two months, towns and ranches were marooned by enormous drifts, some reportedly eighty feet tall. Communities pulled together to assist not only their neighbors but also anyone unable to escape the snowstorm. Drawing on meticulous research and numerous in-person interviews, author and historian James Fuller recounts these harrowing stories of tenacity and fortitude.

THE BLIZZARD'S SECRET, by Allan Young Albia is a typical mid-western county seat town of four thousand people -- minus one. It is located near Iowa's biggest lake, and surrounded by other beautiful lakes and rivers, including the three small fish-filled ponds called Cottonwood Pits. When an early blizzard finally relinquishes what the ponds are hiding, the area will never be the same again. The snow-covered secret not only rewrites the community's history, but determines its future as well -- and all the residents are affected. Zacharias Popek drives in to visit his favorite clergyman, only to find him in the hospital, and stumbles into a series of events which takes all of his deduction capabilities, plus his physical abilities, to solve the mysteries-while staying alive.
