The Donner Party: A Shortcut Into Horror · On-cover: THE DONNER PARTY Description: In the spring of eighteen forty-six, more than eighty pioneers set out for California chasing a clever shortcut. By winter they were trapped in deep snow in a mountain pass, starving — and facing a choice no one should ever have to make.
This episode follows the fatal map that doomed them, the early blizzard that sealed them in, the desperate snowshoe party that went for help, and the truth behind the legend — separating what really happened from the ghoulish tales the newspapers invented.
