@boodistGeek - Seriously? Shut up, moron. Show some respect for those people who suffered about a million times more than your spoiled, cushy ass ever has.

Why the heck write a book on a route you dont even know of & fool people like that?? I will never understand why instead, Hastings didn't go through the route first THEN write the book... SMH. Poor people...

I do not like that Keesburg Krout. Not only did he want Virginia Reid's father James hung but he also evicted the Polish person, Koop from his wagon, leaving him to die on the side of the road. In the end Keesburg was seen sitting alone surrounded by human parts, quite possibly his victims.

@rickyfan3956 And it's possible that Keseberg wanted revenge; Reed had reprimanded him when he caught Keseberg battering his wife. Keseberg himself admitted to an explosive temper and other travelers pitied his wife, Philippine, a young woman with two small children; Keseberg was not very popular among the group, and especially for his cruelty to his wife and their toddler daughter, Ada.

@GibsonElectricI I don't know what I would do. I'd be torn between pushing forth and returning to Fort Bridger. I would not want to go through the desert again, and the Wasatch Mountains sounded like a nightmare to travel over. Then again, traveling over the Rubies and then the Sierra Nevadas with an early winter storm...

@GibsonElectricI I know. But even if they imagined that things could turn out even worse, they had very few choices; Eliza Donner's account is on the mark, "It was plain that try as we might, we could not return to Fort Bridger. We must proceed, regardless of the fearful outlook."

Hastings was probably haunted by all the souls of these people.
