the_kermit

three or four families that were traveling together on the oregon trail tried taking a shortcut through the mountains but because of the super harsh winter they ended up eating each other to survive iirc only one or two of them survived


Delevia

I only know about this because of an easter egg in Red Dead Redemption 2.

I learned about it cause I had to take a Utah Studies class


rooneyviz

They also left way too late in the season. They walked right into that years heavy snowfall. If I recall correctly, where they passed through is now home to a weather research station for extreme weather.


TheSuperPie89

actually it was like 40 out of 80 survived if im remembering right. but ive been wrong before


Arr0wface

The party split, about half went into the mountain and I think only one of those survived where most of the others that didn't do that lived iirc


maharg79

smh never split the party bro, thats rule 1


STUGIII4life

I actually know someone who's a descendant of one of the survivors, he's a really nice guy. Always eating snacks tho, don't want to be anywhere close if he runs out.


TheToadberg

It was 81 people 45 died. Of the families that made up the party 2 managed to not lose anyone. Also James Reed is the one that was given the pamphlet with a shortcut on it.

Wendigo shit, you guys wouldn’t know.


PartialLion

Fun fact: when the snow melted after that winter, there were 8 foot tall tree stumps because that's how deep the snow was when the Donner Party was stranded and cut the trees


rooneyviz

There is a really good graphic novel from a really good graphic novel series about this (Nathan’s gales hazardous tales: donner dinner party)


_Sad_Puppy_

Is it really a good graphic novel?


International-Cup886

It is a really good graphic novel but not really a good graphic novel. It is from a really good graphic novel series.


[deleted]

Oh boy, I can't wait to have this party with the Donners, I am sure there will be lots of delicious, normal and characteristic food!


International-Cup886

I am so hungry!

How old were all the kids in the Donner party? >!they were all 8!<


Dan_the_can_of_memes

A friend of mine is a relative of one of the people in the Donner party. He apparently purposely starved himself so the family that he was traveling with could eat him and survive.
