093 Iron - Supplying the Battle Front & the Home Front 1776-1815

Three iron innovations that made a difference during this age - two on the battle front, and one in people's homes.With furnaces and forges both up and running - and expanding to meet the insatiable appitite for iron, iron workers had to eat as well.Food, wood and water - all plentiful in this new country - they made American iron cheaper than it had ever been.Also for fun - some facts about Valley Forge. Mainly why it was called that, and why it was a good place for winter quarters for the Continental Army.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot com Threads@THoAFoodTwitter: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFoodBlueSky: THoAFood.bsky.socialMusic Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood
