The Donner Party was the most famous tragedy in the history of the westward migration in the United States. In the winter of 1846-47, abount ninety wagon train emigrants were unable to cross the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California before winter, and almost one-half starved to death. Perhaps because they were ordinary people – farmers, merchants, parents, children. These data include some information about each of the members of the party from Johnson (1996).
