According to the History channel, " The Alder Creek excavations, conducted in 2003 and 2004, turned up more than 16,000 bone fragments in all, including the remains of rodents, rabbits, deer, horses, oxen and cattle. They also found canine bones, supporting accounts by survivors that they ate their pet dogs. It’s clear that Donner Party members went to great lengths to avoid eating their own dead."
If they did eat the remains of their dead, they were reluctant. Connection- Another similar true story was that of

Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 where a soccer team crashed in the Andes Mountains and over 72 days of being stranded, the survivors of the crash reluctantly resorted to cannibalism.

Wyoming Territory passed a series of such laws in 1869, partly in an effort to attract more white settlement, and the West was the first home of women’s suffrage in the U.S., with nearly every western state or territory enfranchising women long before women won the right to vote in eastern states."]]> 2021-03-18 13:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1325305116 Donner Dinner Party Graphic novel Book talk burnsk https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1325757115 I made this book talk about a graphic novel I read!

It was produced by Anthony J.

The lyrics of the songs in this movie are really interesting! It shows the perspective of Americans about Manifest Destiny when it was made in 1955. One of the songs refers to savages!]]> 2021-03-30 23:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1369942661 Pee Wee's Big Adventure- The Alamo tour! burnsk https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1372125801 Although this is not an official tour of the Alamo that you can take through the National Park service it was too funny for me not to include it on my Padlet.

As I was playing around with this tool and laughing about sending funny messages to my friends I was thinking back to how difficult it must’ve been for Morse code translators in offices to send and receive messages. The dots and dashes sounds so similar to me. I’m wondering if this is because I have 50% hearing loss in my left ear or if my brain is just not cut out for this type of thing!

The drawing is from around 1810. This was located on a busy corner in Manhattan, which is a small island off of New York. In my research I found that during this time Tontine was one of the busiest centers for people to meet to discuss buying and selling goods and stocks and for business dealings. The article I read said it was even for politicians to meet and discuss ideas at.]]> 2021-04-07 15:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1391845490 Fredrick Douglass- Scene from the movie Glory burnsk https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1465163510 In this scene from the movie Glory, a young General for the Union (he was only 23!) named Robert Shaw meets abolitionist Fredrick Douglass.

The posters were very racist in wording, often describing runaway slaves in mean or derogatory terms. If you look at the poster below you can see that the owner describes his slave as, "heavy, stoutly made with a rather sullen countenance." It is almost as if the owner is describing an object or item that was lost!]]> 2021-04-27 16:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1465190135 Bell Rack burnsk https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1465220571 A "bell rack" on display at the History Museum of Mobile. It was found near Pidgeon Creek in Butler County. Enslaved people who had been recaptured after escaping were forced to wear this apparatus, which had a bell hanging from the top, so that their whereabouts could be tracked at all times.]]> 2021-04-27 16:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/burnsk/iiwjs6odfr/wish/1465220571
