forlorn hope
A band of soldiers or other combatants chosen to take the leading part in a military operation, such as an assault on a defended position, where the risk of casualties is high. The term is from Dutch, roughly translated as "lost troop". While the Donner Party was trapped in the mountains, a team of the fifteen strongest immigrants (five women, nine men, and a boy of twelve) set out on December 16, 1846, to find help, using makeshift snowshoes made by an old farmer, Franklin Graves. Later known as the "Forlorn Hope", the group consisted of: *Luis and Salvador (19, 28), Miwok guides, murdered for food. *Antonio (23), a teamster, died *Patrick Dolan (35), died *William Foster (31), survived *Sarah Murphy-Foster (20), survived; she and William lost their toddler, Jeremiah (2.5) *Harriet Murphy-Pike (18), survived; lost her baby, Catherine *Lemuel Murphy (12), died despite his sisters; his mother, Levina (37), and brother, John (17), also lost *William Eddy (28), survived; lost his wife, Eleanor (25), and both children, James and Margaret (3, 1) *Franklin Graves (57), died; his wife, Elizabeth (46), and three youngest children, Jonathan, little Franklin, and little Elizabeth (7, 5, 1), were lost. *Mary Graves (20), survived *Sarah Graves-Fosdick (22), survived *Jay Fosdick (23), died *Amanda McCutchen (23), survived; lost her baby, Harriet *Charles Stanton (30), died
The Urban Dictionary Mug
Excellent communication. Prompt service. Quality product.
my friend loves funky monkey mug
Great idea to be able to offer this quality mug. I wish it would have come with the full text including examples listed on Urban Dictionary but I do love the mug. Just bought my 2nd one. Packaging is duarable and perfect for rough transit.
¡Soy profesora de español y lo voy a usar en mi clase en la universidad!
I wish the text on the back wasn’t so small—if I had to order it over again I would’ve inquired as to whether the words could be enlarged so it filled up more of the “white space” on the back
You guys are fantastic! Will continue to do business with you. Thank you so very much.
Now I have a UD mug! Good quality, nice printing, great definition!
Your company did an excellent job with our order. The beautiful mug with our son's word and definitions arrived in perfect shape, thanks to your outstanding box design! I have never seen a box so cleverly made. I cannot bring myself to recycle it;). The mug will be enjoyed for years to come. Many Thanks, Deborah Crosley Holland and Michael Holland
Got this mug for my daughter and she was taken a back. I explained to her why it was funny, but she didn't seem to understand. Its been a few days since my daughter has talked to me. I'm positive she loves it! I'm hoping to hear from her soon :)
Arrived before my daughter’s birthday, which was good. Not chipped or cracked, so that was good, too. Ichabod Crane looked good on the ferra color.
Looks great. Made a cool gift. Quick shipping!
It holds liquid, very good
I use it to catch my cum
the mug is really durable, my parents beat me with it and it doesnt break
Love this mug, I like to use it to defecate in which I then feed to my family. 5 stars.
Quick shipping and awesome hysterical product!
I fucked with it for months before i finally ate it.
Great mug! Got a homo mug for a friend's birthday and he adored it. :)
love it
