The Wellington snow slide of 1910 was--and still is--the deadliest
avalanche in America's history. Lauren Tarshis's story of one child
surviving the frozen nightmare pounds with page-turning action and
heartwarming hope. The snow came down faster than train crews could
clear the tracks, piling up in drifts 20 feet high. At the
Wellington train depot in the Cascade Mountains, two trains sat
stranded, blocked in by snow slides to the east and west. Some
passengers braved the storm to hike off the mountain, but many had
no choice but to wait out the storm. But the storm didn't stop. One
day passed, then two, three . . . six days. The snow turned to
rain. Then, just after midnight on March 1, a lightning storm
struck the mountain, sending a ten-foot-high wave of snow barreling
down the mountain. The trains tumbled 150 feet. 96 people were
dead. The Wellington avalanche forever changed railroad
engineering. New York Times bestselling author Lauren Tarshis tells
the tale of one girl who survived, emerging from the snow forever
changed herself.
