Hey Pilgrim, here's where you can find a
Gooooood Cracker!

In 1801, Josiah Bent began baking biscuits in his Highland Street home in Milton, Massachusetts. One day, he over baked his biscuits and a "crackling" sound emitted from the brick oven. Thus, he coined a new American phrase "cracker" and subsequently began to sell his wares to ship merchants in Boston Harbor. Because simple ingredients of only flour and water, the water crackers remained fresh on the long transatlantic voyages. Across the young nation, the Bent's cracker played a historical role by providing the "hardtack" cracker to the Union troops during the Civil War.
