No wood - no fuel - no food

In war an adventure that was usually the first and last word.
Whether stuck at winter quarters in Valley Forge (and check out these cool Earthen Camp Kitchens - paper is at the link.)
Or on the trail with Lewis and Clark
Wood to cook the food to keep the whole adventure going could be the make or break of the whole affair.

But wood also shaped the international aspects of early food - in the shipping that was built on our shores with the big giant trees that were available. How we got our luxuries, and how we imported labor. The boats - mainly the fast boats built in America were essential for how American food was going to shape itself.

Ah yes - and the containers. Wood was essential for containers - not just barrels but for the fuel to make iron, pottery and glass

OH - and yes - go read _The Black Joke_ by A.E. Rooks
