By the winter of 1846, the Donner Party found themselves in the exact scenario they’d been dreading. They were trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, pummeled by snowstorms. Their food supply dwindled. They knew that if they stayed put, they’d all be doomed. So, a group of men, women, and children set off to get help. They thought their journey would last six days. They thought wrong.
Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:

“The Best Land Under Heaven: The Donner Party in the Age of Manifest Destiny,” by Michael Wallis
