Notes: HCS 5/30/2023. Original image is 11.4 MB. Real Photo post card, RPPC, of Patty Reeds Doll, Donner Party. Only 3 3-4 high, Dolly survived the Donner Party tragedy in part because of her size. When Pattys other toys were abandoned in the Salt Desert, Dolly was concealed inside Pattys Dress and so came to California. Patty, whose real name was Martha, willed her to Sutters Fort upon her death in 1923.
