Can a United Statian describe a Dutch Oven to me please?

And I might tell you what a dutch oven is over here.

I grew up with a dutch oven, and though my mom was a tough and rugged camper (they're not too heavy the way she grew up with them, carting them in a vehicle or tied on a horse's saddle around the backwoods of northeastern California), in our childhood we only used them for cooking saucy or otherwise messy things in the oven, or for starting on the stovetop and moving to the oven. They're great for pot roasts.
