The Donner Party and the American Character

According to the paper by Fredrick Jackson Turner, the border has changed the United States. From the earliest settlements, Americans always grow toward the west, so they are always on the border. It is an obvious fate and the spread of American culture to the West is so obvious and very powerful that it can not stop it. Turner's cutting-edge theory says that this constant contact with the border forms the character of the Americans. The border returned American settlers to their original state and deprived them of European culture.

The donor party, or the donor - lead party, is a group of American pioneers who sailed to California in May 1846. Beginning with the independence of Missouri, they were late for a series of unfortunate accidents and mistakes, and winter. Heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains from 1846 to 1847. Some pioneers use cannibalism to survive. The trip to the west usually takes 4 to 6 months, but the donor party will be delayed through a new route called the Hastings cutoff across the Utah Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake Desert. Due to the rugged terrain and difficulties of running along the Humboldt River in Nevada today, many cattle and chariots were lost and split within the group.

In desperate circumstances, civilized people must rely on cannibrancy as a means of survival. The story of Downer Party is one of the most tragic events in the history of the United States. In October 1846, a group of about 90 immigrants led by George Downer fell into a snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Survivors opened their way in the beginning of 1847.

6 Downer Party is the name of one of the most famous eating in the modern world. In 1846, George Downer and James Reed led 87 colonists in California. In order to survive, the organization adopted a similar kind of attitude to survive and fell to the mountain. This was recorded with a letter circulated at a later time. There were only 48 members in this group, arriving in California in 1847. His awkward body and weak eyesight reminds me of cave living things at the beginning of the road. Vision (perception), human condition (by calling monsters) can be seen with meat. A prominent example of this triple relationship is children's literature, but this phenomenon is much more serious than this.
