Product Description
From the #1 bestselling author of The Boys in the Boat comes an unforgettable epic of family, tragedy, and survival on the American frontier. “An ideal pairing of talent and material. … Engrossing. … A deft and ambitious storyteller.” — Mary Roach, New York Times Book Review. In April 1846, twenty-one-year-old Sarah Graves set out west from Illinois with her new husband, her parents, and eight siblings. Seven months later, after joining a party of pioneers led by George Donner, they reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains just as the first heavy snows closed the pass ahead of them. In early December, starving and desperate, Sarah and fourteen others set out for California on snowshoes and endured thirty-two days of unimaginable hardship. In this gripping narrative, New York Times bestselling author Daniel James Brown brings new insight to one of the most legendary events in American history, following Sarah’s every painful step with a story that is both spellbinding and deeply informative.
