This tale involves a late start, additional obstacles faced during the travel because of a false shortcut touted by Hastings, an early snowfall in the Sierra mountains, starvation, murder and eventually cannibalism (n.b.

This first edition contains information which was redacted from later printings at the request of some of the children.
