Hundred Proof History

Ep. 31 - The Donner Party Part I: National Lampoon's Frontier Vacation


Listen Later

In the spring of 1846, a group of settlers loaded up their wagons and headed west for the promised land of California.  They were known as The Donner Party and you know we wouldn't be talking about them on this show if their journey wasn't a complete and total shitshow. Some of you probably already know that this tale involves cannibalism.  In the first part of this series, Greg and Chris don't get to the human BBQ but don't worry, there is still a crapton of human suffering in the six months it would take the Donner Party to even make it to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Grab a drink and practice your social distancing while you listen to this episode of Hundred Proof History entitled The Donner Party Part I: National Lampoon's Frontier Vacation!
