And next....

After putting down the Donner Party book I next picked up Rick Perlstein's Nixonland.

Frankly the entirely Donner Party expedition is looking less horrifying.

The timing on this is, I assure you, just coincidental - I ordered the Donner Party book several days before Nixonland, but the library just happened to deliver them one day after the other

In a way, Nixonland is almost reassuring, because as crazy as things can seem now, they were worse at times in the sixties.
