Daniel James Brown

I have just finished the manuscript for my next book, forthcoming from William Morrow in 2009--THE INDIFFERENT STARS ABOVE: THE HARROWING SAGA OF A DONNER PARTY BRIDE. I will post the publication date here when it is avaiable.

The book traces the footsteps of Sarah Graves, a young bride who left her home in Illinois in the spring of 1846, bound for California. Along the way, she and her new husband became members of the notorious and ill-fated Donner Party and ran into a world of trouble. Sarah's story is among the least known but most compelling aspects of the Donner Party tragedy.

If you would like to be notified when the book is published, please email me by clicking "E-mail the Author" at the right and I will add you to my email list.

Thanks,
