Well one of the them had to leave her two children (one 4 years old and the other one 8 years old) to go over the Rocky Mountains. The children did survive but they did suffer enough for a children that young and little. Also, according to some historians, the Donner party had to eat the dead people. Not all historians believe that, but some do.
