“On top of everything else, winter comes a month early, rendering the Sierra Nevada mountains impassible. As a result, the party is stranded in a few hastily built little cabins, trapped in the snow near what is now known as Donner Lake. It is here, on the shore of this little lake, that our story resumes.” Welcome to Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast! This week is part two of our Donner Party mini-series. In this episode, we discuss James Reed and William McCutcheon’s attempts to return their families, the Forlorn Hope, and the events that transpired at Donner Lake that bleak winter.

“The year is 1846, and it’s a cold, bitter winter. An ill-fated group of pioneers are trapped, snowed into crude little cabins near a lake in the Sierra Nevada. The food is gone, the horse and oxen have been eaten. Spines shiver and stomachs growl. A party of fifteen has gone out, seeking help, but there’s no telling when, or if, they’ll return. And so, the unthinkable occurs.”

“Marshall Ratliff put on a Santa suit and got out of the car a few blocks from the First National Bank. Before long, he had a herd of children following him, all hoping for a chance to talk to Santa. They followed him to an alley beside the red brick, one-story bank, where he joined the other three men. Ratliff led the way into the bank, and the other men drew their guns.”

“The year is 331 BCE, and it appears that some unknown disease is tearing through Rome. But it quickly becomes apparent that there is a pattern to this disease; it’s primarily affecting noble families, and what’s more, it’s only affecting the men. No one knows the cause, but it’s clear that the men of Rome are dropping like flies.”
