Nowhere was the danger more terrifying than near a tiny town called Wellington, perched high in the Cascade Mountains, where a desperate situation evolved: two trainloads of cold, hungry passengers and their crews found themselves marooned. For days, an army of the Great Northern Railroad's most dedicated men worked to rescue the trains, but just when escape seemed possible, the unthinkable occurred--a colossal avalanche tumbled down, sweeping the trains over the steep slope and down the mountainside. Centered on the astonishing spectacle of our nation's deadliest avalanche, \u003ci\u003eThe White Cascade \u003c\/i\u003eis the masterfully told story of a never-before-documented tragedy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Krist \u003c\/b\u003eis the prizewinning author of the novels \u003ci\u003eBad Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eChaos Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eExtravagance\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short-story collections, \u003ci\u003eThe Garden State \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBone by Bone\u003c\/i\u003e.
