From the Book - First edition.
"Dangerous and powerful, hunger stalks the Donner party at every turn through the unpredictable wilderness as they make their pivotal decision to leave the trail on their journey across the Sierra Nevada during the winter of 1846-1847. Thrust into peril and desperation through a long, cold winter, the party inches, terrifyingly, toward the unthinkable. Narrated by the ghostly and provocative voice of Hunger and the many members of the party, the vivid and harrowing story of one of history's most horrifying tales of survival is brought to life."
