Description: Margaret Sutton has the grace and subtlety to emphasize hardship without dwelling on horror, to showcase the courage and generosity of the heroic rescuers and the faith of the victims.On a spring day in 1846, the Reed family and the Donner family left their comfortable homes in Springfield, Illinois, and started the long trek to California. It was quite a caravan, made up of many wagons- not the least of which was the comfortable, well-stocked"palace wagon" which James Reed had built to house the familiy's treasures.Carefree and gay, confident of success, the travelers never dreamed that their wagon train was headed for stark disaster.
