You think you've got it bad trudging uphill in the snow every day to work and back? Just imagine you're stuck inside one of two trains trapped in the Cascade Mountains during a catastrophic blizzard... and then an avalanche hits! The only thing more astonishing than this little-known true incident that occurred in 1910 is Krist's spellbinding book about it. Just when you think you've read the most horrific, jaw-dropping, and intense page you'll ever lay eyes upon, you turn the page... and somehow it gets worse! A definite must-read for lovers of true disaster stories.
