  • The Donner Party was a group of American pioneers whose expedition in 1846 took a tragic turn. In this historical exploration, we dive into their challenges, the decisions that led to their fateful winter in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the untold stories of their struggle for survival.

    The quote written by Tamsen Donner was written after she was rescued from the Sierra Nevadas. This simply means that she wrote this after having cannibalized her fellow travelers.
    “…I shall say the trouble is all in getting started.” Is a truly haunting quote.

    Truly a great documentary about the ill fated trek of the Donner Reed party the audacity of men is sometimes great and sometimes tragic. I don't know why Langford Hastings didn't get into some kind of trouble for telling pioneers to take this so called shortcut when he himself didn't compete it with a wagon

    This was well done, thank you. There are numerous youtube vids regarding the Donner Party, some with more detail, but this was as excellent overview for those that do not know about this tragic event. Good job.

    I thought this was a very well done Donner party accounting. I'm unsure about the script but I thought it was well written and delivered, and I thought the paintings were interesting and well done. I would be curious to know the source of the script and the paintings and having watched and listen to numerous Donner documentaries I would put this one in the upper set regarding quality. For a 1 hour overview of the Donner party tragedy this would be just about the best, Well done!

      Hey thanks for kind words!
      Basic reasearch was done in almighty Wikipedia of course, also alot of details are taken from survivors themselves: Diary of Patrick Breen; Memoir book "Across the Plains in the Donner Party" taken from the spoken word of Virginia Reed Murphy.
      As for pictures/paintings, they are handcrafted firstly from generative AI, mainly (Midjourney V5), and then heavily edited using Photoshop.
      Hope that answers your questions. I'm sure I've missed some minor sources, but that's all i can remember from the top of my head.

    Very good coverage however in the end you say that there was only one surviving member of the donner party yet on the last list of deceases (in red text) & alive (in white text) there are several children there including Leanna who went on to get married and has descendants today.. in fact there are many names in white text that survived from all of the families.

    This seems to be a carbon copy of another older donner party video on youtube tho.

    This script is a stolen script. This is not ‘Unearthed’s’ script. The artwork is made up of European models and very few are authentic to the American westward movement. Stop stealing the work of others and stop re-imaging the truth. Your slip-shod approach is disgusting.
