Charles McGlashan

About the Author

Charles Fayette McGlashan, an educator, lawyer, newspaper editor, and teacher, is best known as the author of History of the Donner Party. His contribution to the research of this ill-fated journey through the Sierras extended beyond interviewing survivors; on April 21, 1879, he excavated the Breen and Graves-Reed cabin sites, which resulted in the many artifacts from the tragedy.
