When John Hale's parents moved to a farm Prairie Creek, in the southern Dakota Territory from Chicago in the late 1880s, he was not happy (too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and that is just the beginning); but after a year, and now eleven, he has settled in and made some friends at school--but when a sunny day in January 1888 turns abruptly into a deadly blizzard he will need all his strength and courage to survive what became known to history as The Children's Blizzard. https://www.mackinvia.com/6753601 .
