From the Publisher
"Ruth Whitman has recreated the journal that Tamsen Donner lost on her nightmarish journey to California in 1846. With a grant from the National Endowment, Whitman traveled along the route of the Donner party, keeping her own diary and watching the American landscape unfold as it did to the eyes of a ninteenth-century New Englander. The journal, transforming historical fact into poetic insight, is a testimony to the optimism, dogged survival, integrity and courage of a woman pioneer." —Janet Falon, The Boston Globe
Reviews
"A work of beauty and force...a major achievement." —Booklist
"Ruth Whitman is a poet whose language takes on the harsh beauty of the land Donner crosses towards California in 1846...This is Tamsen's journey, the journey that now draws us to Whitman's luminous retelling." —The Boston Globe
"Ruth has accomplished a kind of alchemy in distilling the inwardness of Tamsen's life. I think it's true to say that few people have been so remarkably lost and so remarkably found, as Tamsen Donner." —Ric Burns, Director of The Donner Party, PBS 1992
