The Dish on Food and Farming in Colonial America

Many of the early settlers were wealthy people who did not know how to take care of themselves. Food quickly ran out and there were no stores. This book provides an introduction to the value of food and other agricultural production in colonial America. Not only did the settlers have to learn how to produce food, they also needed to store food for the non-growing seasons, storing up all necessities. A glossary and index at the back help readers find specific information.
