The materials include an undated manuscript titled Im Schneesturm (In the Blizzard), along with newspaper accounts, photographs, and other background information. Various translations of the manuscript were published in 1949, 1975, and 1997. Among these are versions printed by the Evangelisches Gemeindeblatt, a German-language Lutheran church bulletin from Madison, Wisconsin, and by the Watertown Public Opinion, which includes a translation by Reverend Elwood Habermann. However, Habermann's translation omits Frederick's role as editor and copier of the original document, along with several other significant details that were unknown to him.
