"Krist does wonders . . . [He] describes the frantic rescue efforts
. . . and the malevolent, unending storm. In a thrilling, climactic
chapter, he conjures forth the avalanche.""--The New York Times" In
February 1910, a monstrous, record-breaking blizzard hit the
Northwest. Nowhere was the danger more terrifying than near a tiny
town called Wellington, perched high in the Cascade Mountains,
where a desperate situation evolved: two trainloads of cold, hungry
passengers and their crews found themselves marooned. For days, an
army of the Great Northern Railroad's most dedicated men worked to
rescue the trains, but just when escape seemed possible, the
unthinkable occurred--a colossal avalanche tumbled down, sweeping
the trains over the steep slope and down the mountainside. Centered
on the astonishing spectacle of our nation's deadliest avalanche,
"The White Cascade "is the masterfully told story of a
never-before-documented tragedy.
