About this listen

Jack Maddox examines three conflicting firsthand accounts from the 1846-47 Donner Party disaster: Patrick Breen's weather-obsessed diary, thirteen-year-old Virginia Reed's raw letter home, and Jean Baptiste Trudeau's two contradictory testimonies told forty years apart. Through their silences and careful omissions, we discover how survivors shape truth to endure unthinkable circumstances.
