Donner Dinner Party: A Pioneer Tale by Nathan Hale
4.0
A fun and easy way to get a history lesson.
I figure most people are interested in this very sad and gruesome part of American history. I know I am but I have never read any books about it. I’m intrigued by the bibliography and perhaps I will read more of a historical account in the future. For now, a graphic novel will suffice.
I have no doubt that the story written is accurate, especially with the bibliographic information at the end. Which makes the story even more difficult to contemplate. Definitely a story of human nature at it’s worst (there were more murders than I ever expected....and more cannibalizing of children than I remember hearing).
Ugh.....Rest in peace all members of the Donner party.
