Listen to anecdotes from the 12 months ever after known as “1800 and froze to death.” Vermont, indeed much of the Northern Hemisphere, struggled against the cold as a volcanic eruption in the Pacific darkened the world. Not knowing the cause, fears of the vengeance of a higher power were rampant. Also hear information on New Hampshire during the cold year. Recorded by SAPA-TV.
