I don't think so? Are you confusing this with the great Mormon handcart disaster of 1856?

I'm probably wrong. I always figured they were based on their origin states (huge Mormon historical migration points). But I'm not going to bother learning just in case they ever met a Mormon.

I heard The Boys in the Boat was great, so probably yeah. Just brace yourself for gruesome content.

It sounds interesting, but there's an amazon review that talks about how the author constantly goes on massive tangents about irrelevant shit, which seems like it would be really fricking annoying.

It's a modern book about the pioneer era, so no, it's probably full of soy butt whining about the patriarchy and the heckin indigenous and what not.
This is the one you want. Covers the Donner party frick up as well as a number of the legendary characters and storiesof that time.

Some of my ancestors were given an opportunity to join the Donner party, but declined because they were heading to Oregon not California.
