Wonderful historical account of cooking in America

This is one of my favorite books. I keep it on the coffee table and several of my guests agree and are also looking for a new edition to be printed.
A suprising and wonderful history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
What a fabulous book! Far from the names and dates and heroic men which bog down many western histories, this history chronicles the stomachs of the priests, soldiers, and homesteaders who were dreaming of fresh butter, unwormy flour, and other delectables while expanding the American frontier. Memorable photos include soldier's wives cooking in a tent to escape the desert heat, a Franciscan priest frying eggs under an umbrella, and a nice Mormon couple having tea on the prairie.
