I believe the books about traditional Applalachian living, the FoxFire books
if I remember, told how to make tallow from animal fat and lye got from wood
ashes...it was part of soap making. They also told how to make black
gunpowder from the nitrates got from an outhouse! I saw a web site relating
to them years ago.-Ken
