“We lived mostly on nettles; which grew abundantly in the bottoms, and of which we frequently made two meals a day. We also made use of some other vegetables and greens. Besides, we had brought along some tea and chocolate; which we drank as well as we could without milk or sugar” (p. 44).

Reminds me of Wm. Clinkenbeard.
John Dabney Shane interview: William Clinkenbeard, 1779 "The women the first spring we came out followed their cows to see what they eat, that they might know what greens to get."
