5. The Donner Party Tragedy (1846-1847)
It’s one of the darkest and most haunting tales of the American frontier. In 1846, a group of hopeful pioneers set out for California, dreaming of a better life. But their journey turned into a nightmare when they took an untested shortcut through the Sierra Nevada mountains. This isn’t just a horror story—it’s a profoundly human tale of endurance and the fight for survival against nature’s wrath.
