You have died of dysentery.

Last month, a wildfire swept through Idaho and revealed a portion of the Oregon Trail that was previously covered by sagebrush & grasses. The Oregon Trail was the path that pioneers followed while travelling west during the 1800s. It is an historic find that will now likely be preserved by local historical societies. I'm pleased that some history can be restored here, but I also like this story for its reminder of the early computer game Oregon Trail.

This looks amazing, and in turn reminds me a bit of Lemonade Tycoon. a bit. I love te mid-90's computer game graphics.

Why do you opt for "an" before an "h" word, as in "an historic"? I am curious.

it's an odd grammatical rule that words that begin with an h and then a vowel should have an in front of them as if they begin with a vowel.
