(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Douglas Allen Deeds is fifteen years old when he uses the inheritance he receives upon his father's death to join up with the ill-fated Donner party. His journal chronicles daily life on the trail, the party's relentless bad luck, and member's shortening tempers with brutal honesty and naiveté. A historical note, map of the route, and black-and-white photos are appended.
Reviewer: Jeannine M. Chapman
