Unfortunate Emigrants Narratives of the Donner Party

"Unfortunate Emigrants": Narratives Of The Donner Party is a selection of rare and hard-to-find early accounts of the 1846 emigrant party that was trapped in the winter snows of the Sierra Nevada, recounting their strenuous and conflict-ridden trail west; their experiences of starvation, death, and cannibalism; and the herculean but disorganized efforts of Californians to rescue the survivors. Reading this compendium of original, descriptive accounts is compelling, engaging and unforgettable. No Western American frontier history collection can be considered complete without this astonishing book.Johnson, Kristin is the author of 'Unfortunate Emigrants Narratives of the Donner Party', published 1996 under ISBN 9780874212082 and ISBN 0874212081.
