It has civil war recipes, how to make soap from ashes, homemade yeast, it's unbelievable how people cooked and acquired household items, they made them: toothpaste, cologne etc. VERY INTERESTING WEBSITE. I thoroughly enjoy it.

Not hiding so much as being kept undercover by the Witness Relocation folks. (Ruh-roh!)
