Marvelous vintage to the event advertising sheet goes into gritty detail on this amazing historical expedition. Two sided, it advertises the second edition of the book by C.F. McGlashan. "It is the most mournful tale of human suffering ever recorded." It details the murder of Mrs. George Donner and the "unnatural acts" of cannibalism "prompted by the agony of starvation. They were subsisting for weeks on the flesh of the dead bodies." NRMT 11" x 8.5".
