As I was going through the commonplaces file I found a journal entry by James Clyman on a member of the Donner party who was fortunate enough to end up in the ground. I don’t quite remember the provenance of this little quote; it seems to me that I found it browsing through the public stacks of the Newark Public Library while I was at Rutgers. Maybe it was in the writer section, perhaps in a book about people’s journals. That may be right. Anyway, the language is not orthographic (heterographic?) but quite pretty. Not knowing much about him, I searched for him through Google, and found a transcription of one of his journals, a piece by the niece of a grandson, and information on Andrew Sublette.
