Snowbound: The Tragic Story of the Donner Party.
David Lavender
Bath Book (Scholastic, March 18, 1997)1997, oversize paperback reprint, Scholastic, NY. 87 pages. Fascinating historical photos, illustrations. Author David Lavender has written many books on the West. This is an exceptional, well done account of what happened to a party of settlers headed West, who took a short cut, trying to make the trip to California easier. By the end of October 1846, they found themselves stranded at the edge of Sierra Nevada, with no food or supplies. Here is the famous story and what happened next. Fascinating.
