Breen, Patrick (died 1868)

US pioneer and diarist who was born in Ireland. During the winter of 1846–47, he kept a diary of the stark events of deaths, quarrels, and eventual rescue of the surviving members of his family. He came to the USA in 1828. With his wife and seven children, he joined the ill-fated expedition of pioneers known as the Donner Party. All members of the Breen family survived the harsh winter and they settled in San Benito County, California.
