We pray the God of mercy to deliver us from our present Calamity, wrote Patrick Breen on the first day of 1847 as he and others in the Donner party awaited rescue from the snowbound Sierras. His famous diary appears in Overland in 1846, edited and annotated by Dale L. Morgan. This handsome two-volume work includes not only primary sources of the Donner tragedy but also the letters and journals of other emigrants on the trail that year. Their voices combine to create a sweeping narrative of the westward movement. Volume I concentrates on the experiences of particular pioneers making the passage--their letters and diaries describe omnipresent dangers and momentary joys, landmarks, Indians encountered, disputes within the companies, births and deaths. Volume II, also based on contemporary records, offers a broader but no less vivid view of what it was like to go west in 1846 and pictures what was found in California and Oregon.

Very stylish
Color: Khaki, Size: Medium
My husband doesn’t like wearing pullover sweaters because he gets hot after being inside for awhile. This sweater jacket was perfect. It’s stylish and well made. Very comfortable and great price. When I gave him the pkg and reminded me he didn’t like sweaters inside. When he opened it and was pleasantly surprised. Finally he could wear a sweater that was easy to put on and take off. He loved everything about it. I bought more colors and he wears every one of them. Great sweater!

Comfortable, warm enough. Feels a bit like a shawl but looks like a good sweater.
I like the color and the fit is good, roomy, feels a bit like a shawl but holds shape and hides a few extra pounds. The zipper is thin but whether you'll find it good enough to last I wouldn't know yet. I'm keeping this.
