On
this day, February 19, 1847, the first rescuers reached the
surviving members of the snowbound Donner Party, stranded for months by severe winter weather in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
In most recountings, the Donner Party tragic story begins with the wagon train travelers being stranded in the high country around Truckee Lake (aka "Donner Lake" -- about 13 miles northwest of Lake Tahoe, Nevada).
It reportedly ends with survivors resorting to cannibalism (of "mostly" deceased family members).
However, for most of the 90+ emigrants (including 31 from the Donner and Reed families) who set out from Springfield, Illinois during the 1846 summer, is the claim of survivors resorting to cannibalism really true?
(The journey is a remarkable account of bad decisions (and timing), deception (by California promotor, L.W. "Cut-off" Hastings), hazardous travel conditions and weather, broken wagons and killed animals, warrior attacks, family feuds and murder, etc. Additional information (with photos) can be found on our Blog.)
So, how much do you know about the Donner Party's tragic story?
Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.
Ok, burrow down under those toasty blankets, and serve up your answers a la carte!
