The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of a Donner Party Bride by Daniel James Brown

challenging dark emotional sad slow-paced

3.0

I wish there was a better way to differentiate which family was who. When the various names of the families are just tossed about its hard to keep track. 

Overall this was a good book. Once again I am blow  away by the human will to live. Would I have resorted to cannibalism when faced with starvation or the starvation of my children?  Hard to say but probably. 

I'd like to find a better interactive map of the route the party took. Can someone retrace their route on foot and make a youtube series?
