Colonists who eat colonists
Cannibalism assertedThe settlers who came ashore in 1607 had among them scoundrels, cheats and murderers. Now comes another revelation about America's founders: Some were cannibals.
The most celebrated instance of cannibalism involved an unnamed settler who strangled his pregnant wife in the couple's bed. He cut open her stomach and threw their unborn child into the river. He then dismembered his wife, "powdered" (salted) her to preserve her and ate portions of her each day.
