Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Location of Site of Breen Cabin: General C. F. McGlashan, Donner Party Historian, Declares Present Pioneer Monument Covers Exact Spot Where Hut Stood
You ask if I can furnish any information to substantiate the fact that the Monument dedicated by the Grand Parlor of the Native Sons, June 6, 1918, was placed on the location of the Breen Cabin.
I have resided in Truckee almost uninterruptedly since July 12, 1872. While collecting data for the History of the Donner Party in 1879, I brought survivors of the party and of the Relief Parties to Truckee to establish the exact location of the cabins occupied by the Breen, Graves and Murphy families, and the approximate location of the Donner tents.
