[From back cover] The compelling story of the Donner Party comes to life in tragedy and horror in The Fateful Journey of Tamsen Donner. In the spring of 1846, the Donner and Reed families pointed their wagons west and pushed off across the American continent where few white men had gone before.... Delayed by impassable canyons, burning deserts, and treacherous Indians, they arrive at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in early November, just as a series of storms closes the mountain passes. Trapped in a tomb of snow, they're subjected to months of unimaginable hardship and suffering. By putting Tamsen Donner at the center of this saga, author Frankye Craig gives an exceptional poignancy to this tale of people pushed to the limits of survival.
