The War Foad is as Important ab Gurpowder 
‘The older men and women of 1809 could remember when Wolf heads were used as 
currency; and when the Stocks and Ducking Stools stood in the main street of Staunton, 
Virginia. Also they were fond of telling how the farmers of the valley, when they heard 
that the Revolution had begun in Massachusetts, carted 137 barrels of flour to Frederick, 
100 miles north and ordered it sent forthwith to the needy people of Boston. This grew 
to be one of the most popular tales of local history—an epic of patriots who fought for liberty, 
not with gunpowder but flour.”
