History of the Donner Party: A Tragedy of the Sierra is a non-fiction book written by C.F. McGlashan. The book tells the true story of the Donner Party, a group of pioneers who attempted to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the winter of 1846-47, only to become stranded in the snow and forced to resort to cannibalism to survive. The book provides a detailed account of the party's journey, including their departure from Illinois, their encounters with Native Americans, and their eventual entrapment in the mountains. McGlashan also explores the social dynamics of the group, including the role of leaders like George Donner and James Reed, and the conflicts that arose between different factions of the party. The book is a gripping and tragic tale of survival against all odds, and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
