Thanks I'll look it up. The whole Astorian story is amazingly perilous both the overland and ocean stories. As of 7/25, there's a copy on the Trap Shed. That's where I got mine from. I haven't read much on the overseas travel, except about their ship being blown up after the Indians siezed it.

To utilize a lean animal for maximum nutrition the fatty parts are extremely important. In hard times the nutritional(fat) value of the skin and other parts of the animal is more important than the lean meat alone. There are still older native people who eat rabbits(a very lean animal) whole,including the skin.The brains are high in fat and are eaten.The innards are cleaned out and eaten also. I have seen how they prepare it. There are two ways.Animals like rabbits can be boiled only long enough until the hair loosens and can be wiped off the skin.The fur can be saved and used as a type of felt inside winter moccassins. Animals like porcupines the hair was burnt off over a fire then the skin was scraped clean of any charr. Interesting. I haven't come across any specific references to organs being eaten. I met a Hmong guy muzzle loader hunting some years back he had just shot a nice fat doe he was hauling it out whole , not field dressed I asked if he wanted to field dress it , he said he takes it home and Mom and grandma and other women gut , skin and use all the intestines , the heart the liver every organ they have something they make from it , except the lungs those are about the only part not eaten
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

The captain was hardcore and clashed with the civilian crew. The captain is why they lost their ship.
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Not much I wouldn't eat if I was starving. Dog? Sure, probably taste like Thanksgiving turkey after going hungry for a week or more. The hide I would think would be the worst to eat. Bone soup actually sounds good. Eating another human..........well hopefully I'll never have to make that choice

I have given rubbed up coyotes to a fella who was raised in Burma on occasion. He wants them left whole and burns the hair off without gutting them. I do not know handles them beyond that but he is always happy to get them.

I use to work with a black man that wud take all the possums I cud bring him, he said he put them in the oven whole, hair on , guts still in them and cooked and eat them . We had good paying jobs, so it wasn’t that he didn’t have money. He was happy when I brought them to him.
Randy Newberg ( He’s on YouTube) shot a wolf , they cooked and eat it, said it was good

The Hmong around here take my coyote carcasses they tell me they take the gall bladders and the stomach fat. Don't know if they use any other parts.

The Lewis and Clark Expedition preferred dog meat over Pacific Salmon when they wintered on the Pacific Coast. Lately in my area there are some selling their coyote carcasses to people who are cooking and eating them. There was a person arrested in Rome , NY last winter barbecuing a coyote, because a neighbor reported him as cooking a domestic dog.
I’ve skinned many coyotes, and I think I would starve first. I remember reading that L&C actually traded for a few dozen dogs to use as food.

I think I could eat wolf, less it’s hair. I tried wolf, didn't care for it. Also, tried smoked cougar. That was much better than timber wolf.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
