Donner Party
Very Rare Card with Sea Moss imprinted on the front, and on the back Mrs. Frank Lewis; noted in pencil "one of the Donner Party"
At 8 years old, Patty Reed Lewis was an 8 year old, who crossed with the Donner Party. She became the Proprietess of Capitola, California's grand hotel, and sold these cards in the lobby. Currently, there is a museum in Capitola with a picture of one of these cards, but their card does not have the original sea moss (seaweed), and is in lesser condition. A true relic from one of the Wild West's more infamous events.
