The publisher's blurb reads: ''George Keithley's restrained yet finally overwhelming narrative of that journey has all the color, the insight into character, the dramatic impact of an exciting historical novel. One reads his poem with the growing conviction that this is the way things must have been with the Donner Party from the time the wheels started rolling until they came to a halt in the terrible mountain entrapment.'' The poet himself states, ''I hoped to write poetry in which reality and the imagination would share their existence, and live in harmony.''
