Authentic Indian Sagamite

[CMWinkler]

Indian Sagamite.—Three parts of Indian meal and one of
brown sugar, mixed and browned over the fire, will make the
food known as ''Sagamite." Used in small quantities, it not
only appeases hunger but allays thirst, and is therefore useful
to soldiers on a scout.
