{"product_id":"the-ungodly-a-novel-of-the-donner-party-9780804756419","title":"The Ungodly: A Novel of the Donner Party","description":"In 1846 several hundred wagons set out from Independence, Missouri, to follow the California Trail nearly 2,000 miles across unpopulated prairies, up sluggish and seemingly endless rivers, and through the Rocky Mountains over the Continental Divide. There, where the water flowed west to the far Pacific, the more prudent emigrants swung north through present-day Idaho, though that was the longer way west. One group, the Donner Party, braver or more foolhardy than the rest, chose an untried route that would shorten the distance. It did. It also subjected them to obstacles so formidable that it cost many of them their lives. Yet it preserved their names and the story of their travail down through history-crowded years. No work of fiction has rendered this remarkable epic of ordeal with more vividness and power than Richard Rhodes's novel of the Donner Party, \u003ci\u003eThe Ungodly\u003c\/i\u003e. Upon its initial printing in 1973, Rhodes's masterful tale was praised for its realistic and gripping depiction of the struggles faced by that ill-fated group of men, women, and children. Now, more than thirty years later, Stanford University Press has reissued this harrowing and haunting novel. \u003ci\u003eThe Ungodly\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable story of terrible hardship and awesome courage-a story that increases our understanding of what kind of people made this nation and what a full and immeasurable price they paid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Rhodes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford General Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 6.58w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804756419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2007 pg. 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Rhodes is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eThe Making of the Atomic Bomb\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), and, most recently, \u003ci\u003eJohn James Audubon: The Making of an American Mind\u003c\/i\u003e(2006).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanford General Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40540893610099,"sku":"9.7808E+12","price":27.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7762dc5b-756e-4847-b28f-a992994b4b60.jpg?v=1666791666","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-ungodly-a-novel-of-the-donner-party-9780804756419","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
