It is often said that the army marches on its stomach and it’s just as true during the 18^th century as it is today. But how was the army supplied with that food? How was it cooked/processed? And in what ways did local women support the Army? Foodways historian Stacy Booth of Forgotten Recipes will discuss how the Continental Army was fed and how local women helped to support the provisioning of the soldiers themselves. Click here to register.
