How did a wasp, a tree, and some iron sulfide enable Western Civilization to be documented? Before ball point pens, many of the most important documents in history depended upon using a unique permanent ink made from these unlikely ingredients. Learn the fascinating history of Iron Gall Ink that was used in everything from the Declaration of Independence to everyday writing and schoolwork. Presented by Cynthia Barbedette
