Description:
In 1893, three New Yorkers, their guide, and a camp cook were caught by an early winter in the Bitterroot Mountains, and forced by their own ill luck and bad judgment to a decision that shocked the nation. Snowbound is the scandalous, true tale of the Carlin party, whose adventure of a lifetime became an unthinkable tragedy.
