    Well, I’m no PugJesus, but I believe this is a reference to the ill fated Donner Party expedition of pioneers attempting to make the east to west journey to California. They became stranded in the Sierra Nevada region during the winter of 1846-47, and ended up resorting to eatting the bodies of the party members who’d perished in order to survive.
