General Notes (Wife)

During a period of the Great War of Northern Aggression , while her
husband was out in the local caves hiding from Confederate authorities, a
bear broke into the pen area and ate the family sow, which they had been
counting on for winter meat. Rachel picked up their old shotgun and went
out after that bear. That winter, they ate bear meat instead of pork.
