Synopsis
An exploration of the Donner Party--a group of farmers and their families traveling by wagon train from Illinois to California in 1846. Rather than taking the more direct, and more crowded, Oregon Trail, the Donner Party struck out on their own along the Overland Trail. Unfortunately, severe weather and other hardships resulted in the deaths of many of the 90 travelers--while the remainder resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. Illustrated with period artwork and b&w photographs.

Relates the ordeals faced by a group of pioneers on their journey from Illinois to California in 1846.

Traveling westward with a team of emigrating families in 1846, Jacob and George Donner encounter tragedy and sorrow in the face of sickness, rivalries, hostile Native Americans, low supplies, and the forthcoming winter.

Industry Reviews
"...this clear narrative draws the many strands of the rescuers' and the victims' tales into an intriguing whole."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush (06/19/1996)

"Sensation-seekers may be disappointed, but this book provides a vivid picture of the obstacles faced by the westward emigrants of the 19th century."
