Description
The Indifferent Stars Above In April 1846, Sarah Graves set out west with her new husband, her parents, and eight siblings, determined to build a better future. Seven months later, they joined a party of emigrants led by George Donner, who were attempting to reach California. The journey took a disastrous turn when the group became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, facing unimaginable hardships and horrors. As the snows closed in, Sarah and fourteen others set out on a desperate journey to California, using snowshoes to traverse the treacherous terrain. Over the next thirty-two days, they endured extreme conditions, and their story is one of survival against all odds. Daniel James Brown's narrative sheds new light on one of the most infamous events in American history, bringing to life the harrowing saga of the Donner Party.
