Pioneer Recalls Severe Blizzard
Pioneer Ed Jones recalls a 1930s Thanksgiving blizzard that struck the South Dakota prairies, killing cattle and horses and trapping nine cowhands who fled to a small tent near Rudy Creek. They spent three days without fuel, returning to find about half the herd lost and 700 cattle carcasses later found, with many horses casualties.
