Some were at Prosser creek, some at Alder creek and some at Donncr lake They erected tents and brushwood huts, about which they wrapped rubber coat, and quilts.

Of and the fifteen only five died, and tour mountain to California before the of these gavo their lives to aid or railroad linked East with West, tho comfort their children or com- experiences of the Donner party panlons were tho worst. Theirs was tho On December 16 the "forlorn greatest loss ot life, and It was aJL hone" started over the snow on tended by a slow starvation during! the six months they were held in the high Sierras that finally drove the stronger members of tho 'party to that last expedient ot man feeding upon his own kind. Of the S8 men, women and chil dren that started with or Joined the Donner party. 42 perished. Six tiled In tho deserts ot Utah and Nevada, and 36 succumbed to the horror ot tho mountain camps. Toot. It consisted ot nine men, five women and a boy. Six days later Stanton, the rescuer, gave out and was abandoned. A storm that be gan Clirlitmaa day halted tbera a week. Three men died and were eaten. January 4 another man sue. cum bed and was eaten. William Foster pursued and shot the In dians. Luis and Salvador, who were eaten. The party came out ot the snow January 11, were aided by In All tho suffering and loss of life may bo ascribed to the primary mistake In taking a southerly "courso around the Great Salt Lake from Fort Drldger, Wyoming. In stead of the usual course around the northern end. The rocky passes jn the Wasatch mountains of Utah delayed tbem ono month; the sands of tho a rest American Desert and the Humboldt Sink stalled their wagons and starved their cattle. The party was In starving condi tion when It reached Truckee Mead ows site ot the present city f Renn, Nevada, October 19, 1846. The emigrants wero met there by Charles T. Stanton, who had pre ceded them to California, and re turned with two Indians, Luis and ! dlans who gavn them acorn bread and helped them to Johnsln's rancho. They had been 33 days coming from Donner's lake, and eight had died. Two men survive! and all the five women. The experience of the four re. lief parties, from tho first thst left Sutter's Fort, February S, to the last. April 13, were similar to those ot tho "forlorn hope' party. Oolng In on snowshoes, the rescuers cached provisions to be used on their return trips. In several In stances theso caches were destroyed by wild animals, so that the return trips with tbo amaclated, weakened Donner people bocamo struggles with death. In which many died and reached Donner lake In four days Louis Keseberg was trjo only one alive ot the many who had not been ablo to accompany the relief parlies who had preceded them. Ot Koso berg, the relief men demanded money, accusing him ot having rob bed, killed and eaten Oeorge Don ner and his wife, Tamsen. Kwi berg finally gave them $500, which ho said Mrs. Donner had requested him to glvo to her children should I he reach California. The fourth relief started bark next day, Keseberg following thvm as well as he could with an Injured leg, Each night he managed to make camp, nd finally reached civilisation. To the end of his lite he wa an object ot accusation nnd aversion, although most survivors and historians agree that ho n Innocent. The brightest part ct the story was the heroism of the women. Of the five who died, Mrs. Oeorge Donner gave her life to be with her husband at his death; Mrs. Jacob Donncr remained with hor four children: Mrs. Oaves stayed for the sake ot her four little ones, and Mr. Murphy cared for her son and three grandchildren until too III to accompany the reecuera. To tho seal of Mrs, Patrick llreen was mainly due (he rescue of her husband and eleven children who had been left In the snow while the relief party went forward for help when they discovered a cache had been destroyed, Mrs. llreen kept tires burning, nursed children with a little sugar and wa ter and kept them alive until res cue came She did not feed upon the bodies of some who had died, nor did the children with her knowledge. The effort, ot lames F Ileed undcubtedly saved many live Han- Ished to the desert In Nevada for having fatally stabbed James Sny der when 8nyder struck Mrs. Iteed with a whip while the two men wero fighting. Reed made his way on horseback over the mountain to California ahead ot the Donner party. Although he did not fully realize the seriousness of their con dition, he caused first relief party to be dispatched, and himself led the second expedition.
