The saga of Jonestown didn't end on the day in November 1978 when more than ninehundred Americans died in a mass murdersuicide in the Guyanese jungle. While only a handful of people present at the agricultural project survived that day in Jonestown, more than eighty members of Peoples Temple, led by Jim Jones, were elsewhere in Guyana on that day, and thousands more members of the movement still lived in California.
