William Eddy is a survivor and defector hero of the tragedy that occurred in the high Sierra mountains during the winter of 1846 and 47 of the infamous Donner Reed party and wagon train to California. Both his wife and children were among those that did not survive. As a grieving husband and father he blames the author of the book that suggested the route taken by the party for their deaths. This book written by Lansford Hastings was titled "The Emigrants Guide to Oregon and California." In the book the route taken was only mentioned in one sentence as a possible alternative route to the one already established and in use. Eddy has vowed to kill Hastings but does not. Instead in 1848 he finds a new wife has 3 children and settles in Petaluma California and is later divorced. He was married a third time and died in Petaluma in 1859 and is buried in San Jose California.
Lansford Hastings was an American explorer and Confederate soldier who was attempting to guide people to California in an effort to acquire the region from Mexico. He died at age 51 at Saint Thomas in the Virgin Islands while conducting a shipload of settlers to his colony at Santarém Brazil.

Holy crap! How have I missed this channel?!? This type of content (ANY old film pretty much, but especially educational films) Is MY FAVORITE THING ON EARTH and you do it SO WELL! I bet your collection is legendary... I used to watch 'em with my grandparents and godparents, this really brings me back. Somehow, it feels more.... idk, personal than Pathe films on YT. Thank you so much! You just made my year, Sir!
Well you made my day, I do this for folks like you. People that miss what America used to stand for. The world has to change I have no doubt of that but I always thought it would be so much slower. Almost like a tree growing so that you didn’t really notice until it was done.This is not the America I was born into so I bury myself in everything that it used to be through films and photographs and old magazines. Soon I’ll start sharing some of that stuff too. Thank you for watching
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology well put, Sir... Well put indeed. The love and care you put into all the content you make absolutely SHINES through. Unfortunately, I was born directly into this more insane America, but perhaps because I was raised primarily by my Grandparents (especially my Grandpa) I find myself nostalgic for a time I never knew directly. I'm also FASCINATED by history, especially government and wartime history, likely for the same reasons, so your content hits ALL the "good content" buttons for me.
Anyways, sorry to ramble at you there, Sir. I'd just like to waste your time for oooooone moment longer and thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all you've done and are still doing. Your content is top-notch, and you're a great man for putting all this love and care into sharing your passion with us all. I wish I could be of more support, but it's hard to make ends meet right now. Once I get a new second job, I'll be back to donate, lol!
Wow .. just Wow!! Thank you 🙏 and I’m subscribed!!!😢😮❤
