Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Last Sixty-Five Years, Vol. 2 of 2: Commencing With the Battle of Lexington, Also, Sketches of Hos Own Life and TimesAt this period the country was bare of every thing, those few, very few, who had money, could not purchase necessaries, for they were not to be had. There were no goods in the country, and provisions were very scarce. Ihave rode ten miles back and forth, to purchase salt pork at twenty cents per pound, which was equal to half a dollar now. The men who composed the then late army, were taken from the pursuit of agriculture, and many an acre was left uncultivated accordingly, not even bread was to be had in sufficient quantity, until it could be raised.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
