Common card · No. 473642

Tamsen Eustis Dozier Donner (November 1, 1801 – March 1847) was an American pioneer, most notable for her key role as a member of the infamous Donner Party. Donner was described as having been "a little woman" and "a good shot with a pistol". As the party encountered worsening conditions, she repeatedly refused to leave her dying husband, George Donner. She subsequently became the last victim to perish in the ordeal and possibly the last to be cannibalized.
