Ok so back in the day of the best trackers and woodsman a wolf pack kills a girl and all that can be found is a shoe and part of a dress.. No blood trail, no partially eaten corpse no bones just a shoe and part of a dress.. Ok.. Uh huh.. This BULLSHIT is believable..Those wolves ate up the bones… Nobody could track down the remains of the girl aye? Sure… Now maybe this is a true tale and maybe it isn’t.. But it is nothing but a lousy piece of so called proof.. Besides, all large carnivores will kill and eat people.. We know this.. That’s inarguable, large carnivores will do that.. But I wonder when they stopped swallowing the bones.. Same thing with the boy, no blood trail on the hard frozen ground and no remains located.. Sounds like something else entirely.. This is your proof? Ok, onto your next whiskey soaked speculative evidence Scotty… And and and we’re all emotional because the media is still lying to us about everything.. Lincoln complained about the bullshit newspapers back in his day amigo…
Some of the worst appeals to emotions BS I’ve ever read…
I wonder if the editor of that 1856 piece thought the populace was really this stupid? Hell an argument could be made that a serial killer did those killings based on so little evidence as that paper presents..
I should say here that having collected many books and journals from that era, evidence with factual explanations and sources back then by professional historians were then and still are excellent works that can to this day still be vetted on their accuracy.. Newspapers are only good for lighting up wood…
