Was the corn actual dried whole kernels or corn meal? Off hand, corn meal would seem more logical. I've looked at supply lists to try to figure this out but no luck.
 
Both. Dried whole or ‘parched’ was handy. Ground in to meal was common.
Hasty Pudding was just boiled corn meal, often mixed with maple sugar or dried meat. Some sort of cake could be made of just corn meal water and salt.
Parched corn jerky and maple sugar could be carried in a bag and was a lot of calories in light weight.
