While on their pilgrimage via wagon train to California during the winter of 1846 – 1847, the Donner families were caught in an early heavy snow storm. Trapped in November 1846 at Donner camp on Alder Creek, food supplies soon became very low. Some of the emigrants eventually resorted to cannibalism to survive, eating those who had succumbed to starvation and sickness, before being rescued 4 months later in February 1847. Only 48 of the 87 members of the party survived to reach California.
