The Snow Walker

Description

Margaret K. and Charles M. Wetterer. For three days, the blizzard of 1888 raged over the northeastern United States. Twelve-year-old Milton Daub got the idea that he could make some snowshoes. His father helped. With snowdrifts up to the second story windows, it was the only safe way to get around. He started on an errand to get milk for his mother, but many neighbors called for him to get things for them. He gained fame as the “snow walker” who helped many people during this time of trouble. Ages 8-12; 48 pages; paperback; Millbrook Press.
