Reclaiming The Donners' Good Name

Despite what most of us took as gospel about the legend of the infamous "Donner party", recent scientific investigation has made a compelling argument that no cannibalism actually occurred within that group. If that's true, then just imagine how much additional pain was inflicted upon the survivors and their descendants, having to live with that unfair shame all this time. Maybe Science can finally "stop the bleeding" on that particular wound, although I suspect the legend has already grown too powerful to ever be undone.
