Community Education of the Black Hills

Students will be reading The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin, a gripping account of the deadly 1888 blizzard that caught the Great Pains settlers by surprise and claimed the lives of more than 100 children. We will also read Across the Deep Blue Sea by Odd S. Lovoll, which chronicles the early Norwgian immigrant experience and the important role Canadian cities played as gateways to North America from 1850 until the late 1860. Students may check out books at the Rapid City Library, purchase at local bookstores, or access digital copies.
