The story of the Donner Party is one of the most calamitous and troubling in the history of the American West. In October of 1846 a party of 79 men, women and children under the leadership of George Donner attempted to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains to California. Trapped by early snows, 35 of them perished. Those who survived sustained life by consuming the flesh of their dead comrades. This account of their ordeal makes liberal use of the mechanisms of fiction, but at no point does it intentionally depart rom the evidence preserved by history. 22. Very Good/Very Good.
