Reviews
"What a wild-eyed, horrific, brilliantly written story Gary Krist tells in The White Cascade . You almost feel like you're a Great Northern Railway passenger in 1910, coping with the blizzard-from-hell. Jack London would be proud of this riveting nonfiction accomplishment."--Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Tulane University and author of The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast " The White Cascade brilliantly recreates one of those terrifying moments when human ingenuity runs up against the fierce power of nature. Gary Krist doesn't simply describe the Great Northern Railway Disaster. He takes you up the mountainside, settles you into the trapped Pullman car, and makes you feel the fear closing in around you. That's storytelling at its finest."--Kevin Boyle, author of Arc of Justice: A Saga of Race, Civil Rights, and Murder in the Jazz Age "It is always a great gift when someone tells a long forgotten story, but it is especially so when the drama is this astonishing, and the writer this talented. Gary Krist weaves a spider web of a tale, drawing the reader in, until they feel as though they too are a passenger on Seattle 25, trapped in one of the world's most dangerous places, in one of history's most savage storms. The White Cascade will keep you up at night, and not just from its unsettling end--you won't be able to put it down."--Susan Casey, author of The Devil's Teeth, "The White Cascadebrilliantly recreates one of those terrifying moments when human ingenuity runs up against the fierce power of nature.

  • suspense at it's best

    This is an all night reader that will keep you in suspense awaiting the avalanche to strike. I am James J. Hill's great grandson, and this event was hidden, until Gary Krist detailed the deadly disaster. Incredible research well told. 5 stars

  • The White Cascade

    Great Northern Modeler, Great story of the history of that division and the hardships of early railroading
