Helpful Score: 2


Fantastic account of the fascinating, if grim, story of the Donner Party's journey west. The book was totally engrossing and Rarick neither glosses over nor sensationalizes the cannibalism aspect. Well researched. I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in the subject, or history in general.
