Ep. 90 - The Dead of Winter

One of the most tragic and disturbing stories from American history has to be that of the Donner Party. But the story of the ill-fated journey by the group of settlers is one that has been twisted and exaggerated over time. In this episode I tell you the story of what really happened, and try to dispel some of the myths.
