The Lower Fort Garry: A Cook

If memory serves me correctly, the young lady below was a cook.


She was showing how to make hard-tack.   Think of it as an unleavened very hard biscuit that would keep for something like 200 years.  It didn't taste great.  But, it sustained the Voyageur on his journey.
