For instance, the itinerary is off, since it was published before the discovery of the Miller-Reed diary. It's a pretty good read, as I recall, but dated. Of course, I'm not real crazy about Donner Party fiction in general.Kristin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137203177065875290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421273.post-39720206541082480132009-01-01T22:13:00.000-07:002009-01-01T22:13:00.000-07:00Thanks,I still have my original copy and read it o...Thanks,<BR/><BR/>I still have my original copy and read it often.

Hoffman Birney's Grim Journey, published in 1934, is out of print, but you can find it for sale at used book websites like Abebooks (www.abebooks.com). Hope you find a copy!Kristin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137203177065875290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36421273.post-69086280319015113312008-12-30T11:41:00.000-07:002008-12-30T11:41:00.000-07:00Very Interesting BlogI am a long time follower of ...Very Interesting Blog<BR/><BR/>I am a long time follower of the Donner Party. It all started for me when Grandfather gave me a book called Grim Journey it was a hands on account of the Donner Party from the eyes of William H. Eddy. I have never seen another copy of it, but it is a great book.BenJoeMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094132034190673077noreply@blogger.com
