The Donner Party left James Reed in the desert because he had been involved in a violent altercation with another member of the group, which resulted in him being banished for a time. Reed had been accused of attacking another man during a dispute, and the group's leaders decided that it was safer for the party to continue without him. Reed's departure was intended to maintain group cohesion and prevent further conflict, although he later rejoined the party after overcoming the challenges in the desert.
