With blizzard after blizzard falling every week, the snowfall this winter has been a bit crazy. But unprecedented? Not exactly. You may remember the Blizzard of 1978, but have you ever heard of the Blizzard of 1888? It came out of nowhere and crippled public transit, stranded travelers, and brought industry and commerce to a screeching halt. No one saw it coming… except for one man from Richmond, Massachusetts. Berkshires folklorist extraordinaire Joe Durwin shares the legend of the “Weather Prophet of Beartown Mountain” with Connecting Point.
Bruce Watson, author of “Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, The Murders and the Judgment of Mankind” discusses the case, prejudice faced by Italian immigrants, and his own participation in the PBS documentary, “The Italian Americans.”
