On April 16, 1846, nine covered wagons left Springfield, Illinois on the 2500 mile journey to California, in what would become one of the greatest tragedies in the history of westward migration. Dick regressed a 51-year-old woman back to a past-life where she found herself as a little girl at the age of 10. She and many others were trapped in snow drifts at the Donner Pass in California.
Living off the bodies of those that died along the path to Sutter’s Fort, the survivors were reduced to seven by the time they reached safety on the western side of the mountains on January 19, 1847. Only two of the ten men survived, including William Eddy and William Foster, but all five women lived through the journey. Of the eight dead, seven had been cannibalized. Immediately messages were dispatched to neighboring settlements as area residents rallied to save the rest of the Donner Party.
