À propos de ce contenu audio

 The tragedy of the Donner party constitutes one of the most amazing stories of the American West. In 1846, 87 people, men, women, and children, set out for California, persuaded to attempt a new overland route. After struggling across the desert, losing many oxen, and nearly dying of thirst, they reached the very summit of the Sierras, only to be trapped by blinding snow and bitter storms. Many perished; some survived by resorting to cannibalism; all were subjected to unbearable suffering.

Incorporating the diaries of the survivors and other contemporary documents, George Stewart wrote the definitive history of that ill-fated band of pioneers, an astonishing account of what human beings may endure and achieve in the final press of circumstance.

    The story of the donner party is an incredible story of resilience and to what limits the human body and mind can be pushed to.
    the author takes us through the whole journey of the party, not limiting himself to the famous mountains parts, adding much needed context and establishing the situations that pushed these people to the extreme limits a man can live through.
    To note, as an audiobook, it can be difficult to follow the geography especially if you are not familiar with these parts of the world, I strongly recommend to look up a map to better locate yourself.

    An harrowing tale of suffering and resilience
