Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Good story, but short. Good overview of what a wagon train would need to make good time across the country, and what went wrong with this particular caravan. Didn’t shy away from the grisly result of the Donner party’s getting lost, but didn’t glorify it either. ( ) This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
