In the Spring of 1846, a group of intrepid pioneers set out from Independence, Missouri, to cross the Oregon Trail to seek a better life in the fertile Oregon Territory.
However, almost nothing went according to plan for this group. They got a late start, took a devastating wrong turn, and were delayed by many natural obstacles.
They ended up being stuck in the mountains during the winter in one of the more horrific episodes in the history of the American West.
Learn more about the Donner Party, what went wrong, and their horrific fate on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The cold war was the defining event of the second half of the 20th century.
When exactly it ended has been subject to debate. Was it the fall of the Berlin Wall? Was the day the Soviet Union was dissolved?
There is an argument to be made that end might have actually occurred before any of those things, although no one knew it at the time.
The event in question didn’t take place in Moscow or Washington but in a supermarket in the suburbs of Houston.
Learn more about the most important supermarket visit in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
