Reminiscences of the 1873 Blizzard by P. O. Resseil
The account recalls a near fatal blizzard at High Lake Iowa in Emmet County. Resseil describes driving logs on a home made sleigh with oxen, water hauling, and the storm's sudden ferocity. The oxen led them to shelter, while relatives abroad faced danger en route. Three days passed before word arrived of their fate, and the narrative notes crusted snow, vanished telephones, and scarce casualties alongside miraculous escapes.
