I really enjoyed this book. I didn’t really know much about this event in history, but do remember watching an episode of Little House on the Prairie where there was a blizzard and Miss Beadle let the kids go home from school in it. I wonder if Laura and Mary were in this Blizzard!
I am excited to participate in this challenge and use it to learn about historical events I know little about…my 1910-1920 book is going to be about Ellis Island, the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, or the Titanic and not WWI which I tend to gravitate towards.
