a meat packer from Troy, New York, who supplied rations for the
soldiers during the War of 1812.
Samuel was widely known by friends and business acquaintances as
“……………… ……………. ” for his genial character and sense of
humour. Taking their cue from his reputation and the “U.S.” he stamped
on meat casks, army troops began joking that their food came from
