Eastern Sierra history series highlights Donner Party survivors
Sunday, Dec. 4 at 1 p.m., Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series with a Chautauqua style presentation of the Donner Party and “Those that Survived.”
Local authors and historians David Woodruff and Gayle Woodruff take on the characters of Donner Party organizers and survivors, James and Margret Reed as they recount the gripping tale, of the courageous and heroic efforts of themselves and others, who saved the lives of 45 destitute souls.
The 50-minute program is free and open to the public, and will be presented inside at the Resort’s heated tent. Wylder’s Resort will be featuring a lunch special during the program. Wylder is 1 mile east of the Highway 88 & 89 junction in Hope Valley. Call David at 760 920-8061 for more information.
