Ray Nash found the manuscript of this narrative at an antique dealer’s barn in Vermont in 1938. Edward Lathem printed a portion of The Great Snow of Grandmother’s Story, presumably set – as printed – in 1816, ‘the legendary years “eighteen hundred and froze to death.”’ It is a very creditable piece of printing.
