* EatTheDog: In Colquhoun's story, the trapped pioneers ate the oxen, horses, and "even my own dog", before moving on to their own shoes and belts, and finally, each other.

* EatTheDog: EatingShoes: Played for drama. After running out of provisions and then their draft animals, the pioneers went for the next "edible" things in their stock:
-->After that we turned to out belts... shoes... any roots we could dig up but you know there's no real nourishment in those.

Captain Boyd is a ShellShockedVeteran of the UsefulNotes/MexicanAmericanWar of the 1840s. As a Lieutenant going into his first battle, Boyd panicked when his unit was caught in a devastating ambush and rather than attempting to [[DefiantToTheEnd fight back]] or [[TacticalWithdrawal lead his men to safety]], Boyd instead played dead in the hopes of saving his own life. When the Mexicans began collecting and burying the bodies from the battle Boyd found himself in a pile of bodies when, for no apparent reason, a powerful surge of strength and determination filled Boyd. This allowed him to break free, kill several enemy soldiers, and capture the nearby Mexican commanders.
