        American Weather Stories is a historical publication available at the 
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). Stories consist of American weather 
experinces from the hurricane that threatened Columbus and colonial settlers to 
the peculiar run of bad weather that has plagued American presidents on 
Inauguration Day; from Americans who documented the weather and climate of the 
Revolutionary and Civil War eras to those who suffered through the &apos;year 
without a summer&apos;, the Blizzard of 1888, and the dust bowl drought of the 
1930&apos;s.
      </abstract>
      <purpose>
        To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers
and the public.
