Winnemucca’s grandfather seemed ecstatic that his “white brothers” had arrived. He must have known that whites would arrive sooner or later. In the early days all things seemed to be peaceful but it would not stay this way. During following interactions with settlers and explores her grandfather was given the name of “Captain Truckee” by General Freemont. Winnemucca explains where this name came from. “The third year more emigrants came, and that summer Captain Fremont, who is now General Fremont. My grandfather met him, and they were soon friends. They met just where the railroad crosses Truckee River, now called Wadsworth, Nevada. Captain Fremont gave my grandfather the name of Captain Truckee, and he also called the river after him.” Winnemucca goes on to state that “Truckee” is an indian word meaning “all right or very well”.

Donner Party, the Forlorn Hope party being the best example, however the absence of physical proof of cannibalism suggests that it was only a part of the story of the Donner Party and not its defining aspect.
