About Phillipine Keseberg, Donner Party
Virginia Reed Murphy recalled, "She was a pretty little woman, humble and unassuming proud of her husband and afeered of him... she made excuses for him." Philippine was pitied as a battered wife.
Heinrich Lienhard reported that Mrs. Keseberg was a buxom and attractive woman who had many admirers at Sutter’s Fort. A photograph at the Bancroft Library, taken when she was in her careworn fifties, shows traces of the handsome young woman she must have been in 1846.
