Ingredients:

lean Buffalo meat sliced into thin strips
available spices
salt to taste

How to Prepare:

When Buffalo meat was plentiful the Corp ate up to 9 lbs. of meat each. Slice lean Buffalo meat into thin strips. Rub available spices and salt into meat. Thread the meat strips on sticks and dry over campfire. If the meat was not dry by morning - the Corp tied the strips to the keelboat mast to dry in the sun as they traveled. Millions of Buffalo grazed the plains in the early 1800s. Today less than 1000 wild Buffalo exist in the USA
