Archeologists Find Donner Party Artifacts
CNN is reporting today that archeologists may have found
physical remnants of the fated Donner Party, the unfortunate group of westward travelers that, as many historians will recount unless you stop them cold by faking a stomach virus, starved to death while being stranded in the Sierra Nevada mountains during the winter of 1846-47. Some members of the party, infamous for their attempts to stay alive by eating their dogs, their luggage, and finally, each other, survived the harrowing ordeal, only to be tagged "cannibals" by their fellow citizens upon rescue. (The outrage!)
LasagnaFarm, which can barely make it through a New York winter without whining about having to fight the homeless for space on sidewalk heating grates, has obtained a drawing of one of the found artifacts. Be warned: what you are about to see is graphic. And by graphic I mean a graphic.
