Our journey continues as we prepare a kit for the 250th anniversary of the United States, focusing on what a colonial soldier would have carried in the 18th century for immediate first aid. This week we discuss and compare a rare early 20th century Abercrombie and Fitch First Aid kit to what a Colonial Soldier may have used and carried for comfort and aid. I think you will be surprised at how much common knowledge of plant identification and uses would come into play!
