 Candida Martinelli's Italophile Site(Wallace Breem)
Wallace Breem's Eagle in the Snow is widely recognized as a modern classic in the historical fiction genre, creating living characters, set in a factually correct past, that is brought to life through the skill of the writer.
Eagle in the Snow covers a period of over 30 years, starting in late fourth-century Britain, and finishing in a harrowing climax when the freezing-over of the river Rhine on 31 December 406 allows a vast horde of Germanic barbarians to pour into the western provinces of the Empire.
Eagle in the Snow had originated as a short story that he had written as a Christmas present for Rikki, but as he worked on the story it became longer and longer until it turned into a novel.

 Snow Stadium
The stadium, to be constructed with Keweenaw's most abundant construction material, packed snow, would be constructed in the Township's Central Park, adjacent to the Probst-Bryant ice rink, just across the street from the Lantz redevelopment district.
According to Bohemia, "The stadium vending and snow pack maintenance jobs would provide stimulating winter activity for the town's many camp bound and bored senior citizens, and give hope to the many Eagle Harbor 'wannabes" denied the fulfillment of their dreams due to the lack of good jobs in the area." He adds.
The Eagle Harbor Web has learned that a local media baron, who has reportedly purchased the cable TV rights to all stadium events, will secretly pay for the Township officials' junket.

A bitter wind succeeded; the soft snow began to stiffen and crackle under the horses' hoofs; they were no longer weighted and encumbered by the drifts upon their bodies; the smaller flakes now rustled and rasped against them like sand, or bounded from them like hail.
To their bitter disappointment they could now see that the snow had not really diminished in quantity, but that the now finely-powdered particles were rapidly filling all inequalities of the surface, packing closely against projections, and swirling in long furrows across the levels.
Benumbed and speechless, they continued to toil on, opposed to the full fury of the stinging snow, and at times obliged to turn their horses to the blast to keep from being blown over the Ridge.
