Summary: "A Night in the Snow" by E. Donald Carr is a gripping account of personal survival written in the mid-19th century. As an autobiographical narrative, it details the harrowing experiences of the author, who, while attempting to reach his church during a severe snowstorm, finds himself lost and battling for survival in the midst of harsh winter conditions. The book explores themes of endurance, faith, and the will to survive against overwhelming odds. In this captivating story, Carr recounts his daring struggle as he crosses the Long Mynd mountain, only to become ensnared in a fierce snowstorm that obscures his path and disorients him. As the night stretches on, he faces numerous trials including physical exhaustion, freezing temperatures, and the encroaching temptation to succumb to sleep in the snow, which would lead to death. Battling exhaustion, frostbite, and moments of panic, Carr perseveres through the night, relying on his grit and occasional moments of clarity to navigate his way through the treacherous terrain. Eventually, as dawn breaks, he miraculously encounters human voices that lead him to safety, illustrating both the fragility and resilience of life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
