Hi this is Gregory Newson; I want to thank you so much for taking the time to review a new watercolor, acrylic painting that will not be posted on the website for while, I am offering this 18" x 24" personally number and autograph print and the original art work can be purchase. The painting name: "What I
need is coffee"
Coffee by far was the most popular beverage in the North and the South. It was especially loved by soldiers. The North did not run out of coffee during the war but in the South it became nonexistent.
Southerners had many substitutes for coffee which included chicory, acorns, beans, beets, corn, cornmeal, cotton seeds, dandelion root, okra seeds, , peanuts, peas, sugar cane seeds, and wheat berries. These were parched, dried, browned or roasted and used to make coffee. Other versions of coffee used tubers like carrots, potatoes and yams which were cut into small pieces, dried, toasted and ground up to make coffee.
Many soldiers (prisoners) referred to substitute coffee as Lincoln Coffee. If you choose to make a purchase of this art print the cost is $150, please reply to this email and I'll send you an invoice which you can pay by credit card, shipping is free
