In
the Spring of 1846 the Breen Family
from Co. Carlow left Missouri by wagon
train on the trail to Calfornia. The
Donner Party which they joined ended
up trapped in the winter snow in the
Sierra Nevada mountain range on the
last leg of the journey. Nearly half
the group of 81 souls died of cold
and starvation but all the Breens
survived, and their descendants still
live in California.
