History of the Donner Party, a Tragedy of the Sierra

Book cover
An important source of information concerning the tragic Donner episode, the most famous tragedy in the history of the westward migration.
The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American immigrants snowbound in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846–1847. Almost ninety wagon train emigrants- farmers, merchants, parents, children - were unable to cross the Sierra Nevada and almost one-half starved to death. In this volume Charles Fayette McGlashan describes the great hardships they endured on their way.
