most people if they heard of the donner party they invariably reply perspective something like, the donner party. weren't those the pioneers who got trapped in a blizzard in the mountains and ended up eating each other? it is true that if not for the acts of survival cannibalism the donner party would have been a mere footnote. one of the many wagon caravans of settlers that crossed over the high sierras of california. but that's not the case. it's indisputable that some members of the snow bound donner party in order to survive, did in fact resort to cannibalism of the dead, that dreadful winter of 1846-1847. as a result, basic human curiosity in the lure of the morbid have always drawn people to the story. possibly comes from a yearning empathize with someone else's suffering. some may find nourish nourishment in the dark. rickburn said the cannibalism becomes like the barker outside the tent. it's what helps you bring people into the story but you end up telling them a story, once inside, that's actually quite different from that the barker has led people to believe, which is a story of

the only storm that comes close was a couple of years before the gold rush at the time of the donner party, there was massive flooding, and the relief crew that went up to get the donner party actually was able to get there quicker because sacramento valley was flooded, and they were able to rowboats closer to the sierra as a result of it. to my knowledge, there has never been anything approaching this mega-storm of 1862. with the consequence of very few levies and the like, it was just devastation. >> i think you said early on that 80% of the miners failed, meaning they did not find any gold or very little. mr. noy: yes, and that is conservative. there are some who say it is much as 99%. the ones who get the press with the ones who found gold quickly. it was tough. virtually everyone who came out here gave it a shot at being a surface gold miner just to see. there are stories about lawyers, for instance, because there was almost no law in california, so they had nothing else to do. they would use their top hats as pans, and they would fail because they did not know what they were do
