Oh bull hockey.
Salacious steaming pile.
So she was a pregnant 14 year old and the baby was tossed in the river?
Doesn’t sound like this was about eating the meat out of desperation and the man responsible was executed.
I’d wager he wasn’t on death row 20 years, either.

While the colonists of Plymouth had five kernels of corn each (per meal or per day, can’t remember) to survive.
They were Godly men and women and did not revert to cannibalism.
When they had their great feast the following Autumn, on each person’s plate had five kernels of corn, so they would remember when times weren’t so plentiful.
That was the period where everything was held in common. Starvation is the most common outcome of collectivization.
Oh my God. You mean Disney did not have it correct?
What is wrong with these people that they could not eat squirrels. Or other stuff crawling around the woods. Its not like there were so many of them that they had to walk for miles to shoot a squirrel.
More liberal bullcrap to smear white people. Way too much wild game and natural veegetation, not to mention fish, for them to resort to that.
It was the arrival of two ships from Bermuda that saved the colony. Those ships were had been wrecked in a storm and were initially stranded in Bermuda. There the would be colonists repaired them and with their holds full of sea turtles and birds, they were with difficult to proceed to Jamestown. There they found the starving and dehydrated colony that was trying to return to England. A prolonged drought had also fouled their water. The arrival of those two battered ships probably changed history.
"That crocodile was gonna eat me alive!"
"Oh I wouldn't hold that against him......that thought crossed my mind once or twice."
“Carbonado” is definitely a word that needs to make a comeback...
I’ve never understood why these people couldn’t catch a fish, a pigeon, or a rodent. Or even rob a bird’s nest.
How about turtles? Clams...no clams in the vicinity?? The recollections of the survivors sound an awful lot like a 4 Yorksiremen skit.
Oh, please. Any clawed animal could have made those marks. Why would a human go for the face and not the meaty part of the body first? An animal wouldn't have been able to remove the clothing, so would claw at the face.
Just another attempt to demonize the white European settlers.
Interesting that what passes for “research” these days is aiming towards a complete denial of God & His Sovereignty. If these researchers and sociologists can distort and make Christians look sub-human in the process—even better!
Forget everything you learned in your history books. America was founded by cannibals. And Muslims.
The Starving Time at Jamestown in the Colony of Virginia was a period of starvation during the winter of 1609–1610 in which all but 60 of 500 colonists died.
The colonists, the first group of whom had originally arrived at Jamestown on May 14, 1607, had never planned to grow all of their own food. Their plans depended upon trade with the local Powhatan to supply them with food between the arrivals of periodic supply ships from England.
Lack of access to water and a relatively dry rain season crippled the agricultural production of the colonists. Also, the water that the colonists drank was brackish and potable for only half of the year. A fleet from England, damaged by a hurricane, arrived months behind schedule with new colonists, but without expected food supplies.
On June 7, 1610 the survivors boarded ships, abandoned the colony site, and sailed towards the Chesapeake Bay, where another supply convoy with new supplies and headed by a newly appointed governor, Thomas West, Baron De La Warr, intercepted them on the lower James River and returned them to Jamestown. Within a few years, the commercialization of tobacco by John Rolfe secured the settlement’s long-term economic prosperity.
There is scientific evidence that the settlers at Jamestown had turned to cannibalism during the starving time.
