A targeted shooting California inside a Spirit Halloween on the eve of the holiday has left one person dead and six injured, police said.
Truckee began in 1863 as Gray's Station, named for Joseph Gray's roadhouse on the wagon road over the Sierra, and the blacksmith Samuel S. Coburn was there almost from the start, so that by 1866 it was known as Coburn's Station. By August 1867 the Central Pacific Railroad had chosen the name Truckee for its station, though the tracks did not arrive until 1868. The name honors a Paiute chief, father of Chief Winnemucca and grandfather of Sarah Winnemucca, who greeted the first European travelers to cross the Sierra by shouting "Tro-kay," Paiute for "everything is all right," which they took for his name. He later guided John C. Fremont.
The Donner Party ordeal is Truckee's best-known historical event. In 1846 a group of settlers from Illinois, delayed by trail mishaps, poor decisions, infighting, a disastrous crossing of the Utah salt flats and shortcuts off the usual Oregon Trail route, was halted by an early blizzard at the edge of what is now Donner Lake, about 1,200 feet below the Sierra summit and 90 miles from Sutter's Fort. Attempts to haul their remaining wagons and supplies over the summit failed, and some members camped at Alder Creek a few miles east. Through the hard winter the travelers starved, and some resorted to cannibalism, while fifteen members set out on makeshift snowshoes for Sutter's Fort. Sources Wikipedia: Truckee, California
