Lynna Kay Shuffield,
Bacon was by far the most valuable meat during the Civil War, although I don't know what its exact value was. ..Archaeological digs on the Oliver Loving properties in Parker and Palo Pinto Counties surprisingly found many more porcine bones than bovine bones. ..Please find the 7 "bacon" entries in my 134-page Name Index of my 1,022-page book below:
"Foodstuffs" is one of about 36 sociological topics that I included in my Name Index. ..The "Collective Terms" web page address is near the bottom of this page.
