Three iron innovations that made a difference during this age - two on the battle front, and one in people's homes.

With furnaces and forges both up and running - and expanding to meet the insatiable appitite for iron, iron workers had to eat as well.
Food, wood and water - all plentiful in this new country - they made American iron cheaper than it had ever been.

Also for fun - some facts about Valley Forge. Mainly why it was called that, and why it was a good place for winter quarters for the Continental Army.
