âThe Location of Site of Breen Cabinâ details the investigation into the precise location of the Breen family cabin of the infamous Donner Party. General C.F. McGlashan, a noted Donner Party historian, asserts that the present Pioneer Monument marks the exact spot where the cabin stood. This account, compiled by the Historic Landmarks Committee of the Native Sons of the Golden West, presents an array of facts related to the early investigations of the sites of the various Donner Party cabins. It offers insight into the efforts to accurately map and commemorate these locations, contributing to our understanding of this tragic yet pivotal event in California’s pioneer history. This short work is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the American West and the Donner Party saga.
