For three days in January, 1873, a severe snowstorm struck the Dakota Territory, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. People awoke on January 7 to an unusually warm winter's day with temperatures above freezing. Farmers and their families took advantage of the warmer temperatures, not knowing a severe storm was approaching. They brought grain to the mills, cut firewood in nearby forests, tended to their cattle, visited family or tended to other duties. The blizzard took the lives of hundreds of people in several states, including seventy in Minnesota. Twelve people died in Kandiyohi County. This book takes a detailed look at these 12 victims of the blizzard: who they were; where they lived; their journeys and deaths in the storm; and the families who mourned. All victims were immigrants and early pioneers to Minnesota--Back cover.
