At the southern part of Chester County Pennsylvania, lies the beginnings of the United States as we know it. Here is the battle of Chadds Ford, fought under the first flag of the United States, by all accounts the hand stitched Betsy Ross flag was used during the battle in the vicinity of New Street and 926 just south of West Chester. It might amaze you that the battle was on 9/11/1777! So after the battle for many years folks were picking up all sorts of items over the last two hundred years. The British & Americans abandoned much of the battle kit right on the 1000+ acre's of battlefield. The surprise - many small wrought iron bean stoves were recovered.
But the story doesn't end there, years later nutritionist find Beans to be the perfect nutrition. Think about it England sent their boys and officers over seas for months to hike the American countryside with backpacks and guns and bean pots... Now we know Beans are shelf stable, cook well, rehydrate well, and have the right ratio of protein and carbs, and with a little sugar & spice - priceless.
So Hiking and beans cannot be denied! (add a little BBQ sauce)
