Exhausted, starving, and insufficiently protected from the cold, more than two hundred men, women, and children died before rescue parties helped the survivors reach Salt Lake City.1One hundred sixty years later, at the site of the Martin Company's deadly winter encampment, tourists learn about the 1856 company's suffering and try their hand
