Cranberries Described by Colonial Soldier at Fort Duquesne
Colonel James Smith recounted his capture by the French and Indians at Fort Duquesne in 1755. He later lived among tribes in Ohio and Michigan and noted cranberries growing in swamps, gathered by Indians when waters froze. He described them as large, bright red, sour yet pleasant when sugar is added.
