The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West

The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West Cody's Books - Cody's Books Ethan Rarick talks about Desperate Passage: The Donner Party's Perilous Journey West. Let's allow Simon Winchester to describe Rarick's new book: "This sober, unflinching look at one of the great tragedies of America's pioneering past tells us a great deal that is new about the Donner Party's trials. Rarick scythes away the myths of one of the nation's better-known sagas, and offers up this horrific but ennobling tale in all its freshly researched detail. Readers take heed: this is a tough book, but a gripping one."Ethan Rarick's last book was California Rising: The Life and Times of Pat Brown - Cody's Books
