This week Emily brings the first instalment of The Donner Party story. The Donner Party were a group of American pioneers who in the mid-1800s migrated to California in a wagon train from the Midwest. They were delayed by a pretty epic series of bad luck, forcing them to camp in the Sierra Nevada mountain range over the winter. Tune in to hear all about the somewhat questionable decisions the party made... also, I think we can all agree that Lansford Hastings was an awful person!
