The group left too late in the spring, so when they were getting into the mountains the winter snows hit. They were stuck.
The Donners and Reeds left Springfield, Illinois, on April 14, 1846.
They left Independence, Missouri, on May 12, 1846.
However, the Donner Party didn't actually exist until July 19, 1846, when George Donner was elected captain of a newly-formed wagon train.

You have to be very very patient being with a alexithymic person. You should have no expectation of any understanding of emotional cues shown by you and a response in return. You should understand that the person is not doing deliberately, that person doesn't have developed cognitive capabilities for judging and reciprocating emotions (including their own) . You have to shower that person with love all the time unconditionally and have to be persistent despite all the cold shoulder you may receive . My gf had this condition and I came to know after we got into relationship . I initially thought she is a closed and emotional person . But later realised she is cold and brutal. She couldn't understand and reciprocate emotions like love, care etc at all... But still I gave it my best shot tried to make her realise what love is. She eventually understood it but couldn't feel it.
I don't know about 78 but in the 1930's there was twinkies, Fritos, tacos, and Craft macaroni and cheese!
The Donner Party took off from Independence, MO too late. Back then, you didn't have any good transpertation system like we do now. So they had to rely on wagons. They couldn't take off too early because the grass was needed the horse/mule/oxen to eat. They couldn't take off too late because they wouldn't be able to cross the Rockys because of the snow. So the timing was very important. The Donner Party took off too late so they got stuck on the Rockys.

It is questionable to whether or not that they are cannibals. Many in white culture do believe that they are but there has been no evidence for it. The evidence that they supposedly had for the Mayans and Aztecs of Meso-America being cannibals proved to be caused by other means, such as pot-polish which is the wearing away of the bone and thought to be from bones rubbing together in a pot can just be caused over time. As well as the supposed cut marks that had to be from cutting the meat off of the bone, many of the bone pieces that were found are too small to show any sort of cut marks, and when you cut meat off of the bone you don't cut the bone because it dulls the blade.
There were 87 people not including the teamsters or Indians that travelled with them.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, what people ate depended a lot on how rich they were. Poor people (which was almost everybody) ate mainly barley. Sometimes they made their barley into bread, and sometimes into pancakes or pizza, and sometimes into barley porridge (like oatmeal) and sometimes into barley soup. But every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, most of every meal was barley. It must have been very boring!
As much as they could, the poor people found other things to eat with their barley to make it less boring. They grew carrots and onions and cabbage and garlic to put in their soup, and they made cheese to eat with their bread and melt on their pizza, and they gathered apples and pears and mushrooms as well, so they could make apple pies or baked apples. And they tried to get honey to sweeten their treats. They grew herbs like basil and rosemary to flavor their food. Mostly poor people drank ale (kindof like beer) or beer in England and Germany, wine in France and Italy and Spain. Even the beer was made from barley! Rich people also ate a lot of bread, but they made their bread out of wheat so it tasted better. And they had more choices of other things to eat with their bread. Rich people ate meat - pork and roast beef and stew and lamb chops and deer and rabbit. And they had spices to put on their food, expensive spices that had to come all the way from India like pepper and cinnamon. Even salt was often too expensive for poor people, and only rich people had it. In fact, when you were eating in a medieval castle, the salt would be on the table in a huge fancy salt cellar, and the rich people would sit near the salt so they could use it, while the poor people sat further down the long table and couldn't use the salt. We still say, "above the salt" to mean a rich person. (c) www.historyforkids.org

-----------------Three families, George Donner's, Jacob Donner's, and James Reed's, left Springfield, Illinois, on April 14, 1846. On May 19 they joined a large wagon train in Kansas. This train was led by William Russell. It broke up into smaller parties. The Donner Party didn't actually exist until July 19, 1846, when a new wagon train was organized and George Donner was elected the captain. This happened near South Pass in Wyoming.
No. He urged the Donner Party to take a shortcut which caused the party unnecessary hardship. If the Donner Party had not taken the shortcut, they would have made it to Sacramento before snow came to the Sierra Nevada mountains.
When the Donner Party was trapped at the beginning of November 1846, they had very little food. They slaughtered their cattle and put the meat in the snow to preserve it. Some of the emigrants had more than the others. When the meat was gone, they ate boiled oxhide and bones. They also ate their dogs. Finally, at the end of February 1847, some of the emigrants had nothing at all left to eat, so they started to eat human flesh. They didn't kill each other for food, they only ate the dead.
The Donner Party ran out of food and were trapped by a winter storm. Cannibalism was unheard of in civilized societies, so this was met with horror! The survivors weren't exactly welcomed neighbors.

48 of 87 pioneers survived the trip. Near Truckee Lake, Northwest of Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the border of North California and Nevada, the Party could go no further. Most survived by cannibalizing their family members and others who died of starvation in what is now known as The Donner Pass.

The Donnor Party happened during a very important part of American History. It was the journey west to expand the countries boundries, and explore new land. The Donnor Party was doing something that has been an obsession of human kind as long as we have existed. We want to discover and explore as far as possible. The reason they stand out from other pioneers' is because the cannibalism that occured during their entrapment in the Sierra Nevada's. But that is just the faucet to the story. The story of canabalism pulls people in, but they real story of how many people suffered and fought for their lives against mother nature is what keep the story present in our history. The Donnor Party is an interesting study because so many factors caused the story to unfold and events to occur. There is also a mistery about what actually happened, and they unknown is very appealing to human kind.
Cannibalism also called anthropophagy, is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh of other human beings. the first known account of cannibalism came following an expedition to the West Indies, led by Christopher Columbus. Columbus and his crew supposedly discovered that the Carib West Indies tribe participated in a particularly gruesome practice of ritualistically eating the flesh of other humans.
Neanderthals are believed to have practiced cannibalism. Among modern humans it has been practiced by various groups. In the past in Europe, Africa, South America, New Zealand,North America, Australia, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, New Guinea, India, Sumatra, and Fiji, usually in rituals connected to tribal warfare. Fiji was once known as the 'Cannibal Isles'. Evidence of cannibalism has been found in the Chaco Canyon ruins of the Anasazi culture. Historically, charges of cannibalism were used by European nations to help justify their colonization efforts. As a result, many historical allegations of people eating are undoubtedly false. But the fact that such allegations were made is not sufficient grounds to conclude that all reports of cannibalism are untrustworthy.
The statistics of cannibalism are to take to a report and document.
The Donner Party revealed what could happen, if things went wrong. Previous stories were always about the wonderful things that could happen when settlers went west, such as adventure and the possibility of finding one's destiny. The story of the Donner Party showed the dark side. The tale of cannibalism, and the loss of nearly half the party, took much of the glamour away from going west.
