Cowboys And Chuckwagons - At The Ranch House [Beulah M. Barss]

Two volumes from Beulah M. Barss's Come 'n Get It series devoted to the cookery and domestic life of the Canadian ranching West. Combining historical notes with traditional recipes, the books examine ranch and chuckwagon cooking, the development of regional dishes, and the practical methods employed in frontier kitchens. Quotations from letters, diaries, and other contemporary sources provide context for the recipes and offer glimpses of everyday life among ranch families, cooks, and working cowboys. Recipes throughout have been adapted for contemporary use while preserving their historical character.
