Tamsen Donner. For most the name conjures the ill-fated Donner party trapped in the snows of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in 1846-47. For Gabrielle Burton, Tamsen's story, fascinating in its own right, had long seemed something more. This book tells of Burton's search to solve the mystery of Tamsen Donner for herself.
