"...The pass was named after a later group of California-bound
emigrants. In early November 1846 the Donner Party found the route
blocked by snow and was forced to spend the winter on the east side of
the mountains. Of the 81 emigrants, only 45 survived to reach
California; some of them resorted to cannibalism to survive."

a group of..... kind of people. What did
the Donner group have in common?

The Donners were travelling why?
