A Cold Welcome: The Little Ice Age and Europe's Encounter with North America
Sam White
When Europeans arrived in North America, the average global temperature had dropped to lows unseen in millennia and its effects-famine, starvation, desperation, and violence-were stark among colonists unprepared to fend for themselves. This history of the Little Ice Age in North America reminds us of the risks of a changing and unfamiliar climate.
