The Children's Blizzard of 1888: The Advent of Communicating Meteorology

The Wortmann family of Crofton, Nebraska wanted to express its gratitude to USD Libraries for assistance and resources. It was announced this week that Sophia Wortmann and Rylie Arens won first place in the Nebraska National History Day contest for their Junior Group Performance Project entitled "The Children's Blizzard of 1888: The Advent of Communicating Meteorology." This project was created in no small part with materials and oral histories from USD. This is the second time in three years that a member of the Wortman family has won first place for Nebraska's contest using, in no small part, USD materials. On to the national competition!
