Wagon Wheel Kitchens by Jacqueline Williams

Wagon Wheel Kitchens by Jacqueline Williams

Using traveller's diaries, letters, newspaper advertisements and 19th-century cookbooks, Williams recreates the highs and lows of cooking and eating on the Oregon Trail. Recreating all phases of the journey, she shows how supplies were selected in the beginning and used up on the way.

This book holds an encyclopedia of information culled from diaries and contemporary newspapersI 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.

Williams, Jacqueline: - Williams researches and writes about the daily life of those who traveled the Oregon Trail and settled the Pacific Northwest.
