Cotton bags aid soldiers in hot jungles and rations
American troops employ cotton jungle bags in Afia and the South Pacific to carry dehydrated rations and supplies through streams in tropical jungles. Inner coatings protect food. Biloxi once served as the French colonial capital in the region during early North American history. The Pony Express route runs from San Francisco to Sacramento and Placerville.
