Wagon Wheel Kitchens: Food on the Oregon Trail
Autor Jacqueline Williams Sam'l P. Arnolden Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 1993
Understanding what and how the pioneers ate, Williams demonstrates, is essential to understanding how they lived and survived and sometimes died on the trail.
"This book holds an encyclopedia of information culled from diaries and contemporary newspapers. I can't think of a more intimate account of the lives of the overlanders, how they turned their rude wagons into homes, how they made meals both a comfort and a celebration. Some readers will want to try out recipes; others will read in awe as in the midst of difficult travel, women made certain their families marked the Fourth of July with cakes fruit jelly and sponge-puddings, and ice cream and clean underwear " Lillian Schlissel, author of "Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey" and "Western Women: Their Lands, Their Lives""

Textul de pe ultima copertă
In this book, I gather the information and the data pertaining to mid-nineteenth-centruy culinary habits and examine it from the perspective of the people who lived in the prairie schooners. The focus is on the early months of travel, when supplies were adequate and cooks still had the energy to add a dash of creativity to the cookery pot.
