Colonial Food eBook

Food discusses how the colonists obtained, prepared, and ate their food. It looks at the new foods they discovered when they came to America, the difficulties they initially experienced in producing enough food to survive, the help they received from friendly Native Americans in growing crops, and geographic variations in their diet, from apples in the North to sweet potatoes in the South. The book also covers how the colonists cooked their food and the utensils that they used to eat it. Finally, it talks about how Native Americans lived off the land, hunting, trapping, and growing squash, corn, and beans with the Three Sisters method.
