The Perilous Journey of the Donner Party
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
- Publish date: 03/01/1999
Description:
"Calabro's offering is a fine addition to the Donner party canon and particularly well suited to its young audience, for whom the story of hardship and survival will be nothing sort of riveting. Calabro wisely chooses to tell her story primarily through the eyes of one of the young emigrants, 12-year-old Virginia Reed. . . . Calabro's research is meticulous. The book comes alive with details about clothing, household items, and, always, the food, even the tiniest morsels. She moves the story into the present with her interviews of survivors' descendants. There is an extensive bibliography as well as a list for further reading. Sometimes a heavily researched book can be dry, but not this one. From the haunting cover with its lonely campfire to the recounting of a survivors' reunion, this is a page-turner."
