January 12, 1888: The Area's Worst Storm in Recorded History

The anniversary of one of the worst blizzards in recorded history happened on January 12th, 1888. There were many heroes afoot that day, school teachers in the one-room schoolhouses on the open Dakota prairie who protected the children as if they were their own. Strangers helping others to safety and shelter wherever they could find it.
This happened 133 years ago this week.
David Laskin's "The Children's Blizzard" (2004), painstakingly researched the stories of the families, children of witnesses, teachers, and journals, to bring this incredible and tragic story together.
The storm began forming in the first week of January 1888 in the Canadian interior. By Sunday, January 8th, it was above the Montana - North Dakota border. The next day, in Helena, Montana, the temperature dropped by a staggering 50 degrees over four hours. The sudden, bitter cold caught many people unprepared, and more than 230 lost their lives from exposure to extreme temperatures. Then, on January 11th and 12th, it moved into Dakota Territory and Nebraska.
