Complete list of ways you could die in Oregon Trail?
Wikipedia gives the following (partial?) list:
...die from various causes, such as measles, snakebite, dysentery, typhoid, cholera, and exhaustion. People could also die from drowning or a broken leg.
But I'm pretty sure there were others (starvation for example). Is there anywhere that has a complete list of the ways to dies in Oregon Trail?
