內容簡介
The Expedition of the Donner Party and Its Tragic Fate is a powerful first-person account of one of the most infamous tragedies in American pioneer history, written by Eliza P. Donner Houghton, who was just a young child during the ordeal. The Donner Party set out in 1846 to reach California, lured by promises of a better life and misled by poor guidance. After taking an untested shortcut known as the Hastings Cutoff, they became trapped in the Sierra Nevada mountains by early and relentless snowfall.
What followed was a brutal winter marked by extreme hunger, freezing temperatures, and desperate decisions, including the controversial act of cannibalism. Through this memoir, Eliza recounts the suffering and heroism of those months, not only drawing on her own childhood memories but also incorporating stories passed down from other survivors and documents of the time.
More than a historical record, the book humanizes the people involved-especially her own family-and seeks to correct misconceptions about the event. Eliza writes with compassion and dignity, offering an insider's view that is deeply moving, informative, and historically significant. Her narrative preserves the memory of the lost while honoring the endurance of those who lived.
