In the last episode of HPH, we began to tell you about history's worst road trip: The Donner Party migration of 1846. In that episode we had a good deal of death and suffering, but it was all just the tip of the poop iceberg. In this episode, Greg and Chris are diving into the story of the party members who decided to walk out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to seek help. They were known as the snowshoe group because they wore snowshoes. They would also become known as The Forlorn Hope because it all just goes horribly wrong. And if you like hearing about how 19th century settlers cooked human hearts over an open fire, then boy is this the episode for you! Grab a drink and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled The Donner Party Part II: Yes. We. Cannibal!
