Summary

In 1846, a band of California-bound pioneers took a fateful shortcut that left them stranded in the frigid Sierras -- horrifyingly, some resorted to cannibalism to survive. This gripping account by a newspaperman who interviewed survivors and studied the party members' journals reveals not only a stark tale of desperation but also many inspiring acts of heroism.

Author Biography

Lawyer, educator, and newspaper editor, Charles F. McGlashan interviewed most of the Donner Party survivors, studied correspondence to authenticate accounts, and conducted excavations of the tragedy's site.
