  • The old Indian's warning said the winter would be hard and long so Laura's father moved the family from the claim to his house in town. The claim shanty wasn't strong enough to keep out blizzards and it they were snowed up there. far from any help, they might freeze or starve. The shops in town were full of supplies and trains could bring more. But the blizzards raged and screamed over the little town and there were no trains. Soon there was no oil for the lamps or fuel for the stoves. Laura's family loved on coarse brown bread; they burnt hay and Ma made a button lamp. It was May before the snow melted and the first train got through.
