Reseña del libro "The Donner Party (en Inglés)"

In 1846, families set out from Illinois for California with wagons, children and hopes of a better life. Months later, winter closed the Sierra Nevada around them.The Donner Party's disaster began long before the first snow. The Hastings Cutoff demanded road building through the Wasatch Mountains and a punishing crossing of the Great Salt Lake Desert. Lost time, weakened animals, damaged wagons and conflict within the company narrowed its choices. When the mountain pass closed, the emigrants had little margin left.The Donner Party follows the journey from preparation and departure through entrapment, the Forlorn Hope, the relief expeditions and the survivors' later lives. It gives the women, children, hired workers and rescuers their place in the story, while recognising the Indigenous homelands crossed by the emigrant road.Drawing on contemporary records and later accounts, Gordon J. MacKenzie separates documented events from accusation and legend. This is a readable history of hope, difficult decisions, survival and the lasting cost of the journey.Includes a timeline and references. Book Six of The Westward Republic.
