Description
In 1846, a band of California-bound pioneers took a fateful shortcut that left them stranded and starving in the frigid Sierras, where some resorted to cannibalism. This gripping account by a newspaperman who interviewed survivors and studied the expedition members' journals reveals not only a stark tale of desperation but also inspiring acts of heroism.
