An 1856 Letter from an Unknown Person in Winona, Minnesota (p. 3) |
make any good sleding all the time the snow is not over 20 inches at no time and as to blowing the wind has not blown the snow off of the highest hills which is from three 100 feet high we had one stormy knight and the wind blowed pretty hard but I have not seen any snow drift over four feet deep in the open prairie against the fence it is true that the wind blows harder in the open prairie than it does in timber countrys but as to blowing the snow all off of the ground and blowing houses over and blowing wheat out of the ground is all a mistake I think for a wheat country it can't be beat by no means for as the snow stays on the ground all winter I don't see how it can help being a good wheat country (cont. >>) |
