About the author

C. F. (Charles Fayette) McGlashan

1847–1931

A colorful figure of early California history, this lawyer, newspaper editor, naturalist, and local booster is best remembered for writing a lasting account of the Donner Party tragedy. He also helped shape Truckee’s public life, from winter carnivals to civic projects that kept his name alive in the Sierra.
