Donner Party
The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the "westering fever" of the 1840s. They are believed to have resorted to cannibalism while snowbound in the Sierra Nevada. The nucleus of the party consisted of the Donner and Reed families and their hired hands, some 31 people from Springfield, Illinois.
