Gr 3-5-An introduction outlines the challenges the pioneers faced regarding food preparation, including storing and preserving of food, sickness, bugs, etc. In addition to providing recipes for bacon cornbread, skillet bread, dried apple pie, sourdough starter, sourdough flapjacks, Cornish pasties, vinegar pie, and chuck wagon beans, the book tells readers how the pioneers prepared each of the particular items. There is mention of adult assistance (using the oven, handling utensils, etc.). Chapters address the foods of Oregon Trail pioneers, the forty-niners, and the cowboys. Ichord discusses supplies, making a campfire, buffalo, Native Americans, the influence of various ethnic groups on cooking, and the cowboys' cook and chuck wagon. Full-color illustrations add charming bits of humor and insight. This interesting book will supplement classroom lessons, library programs, and themed-party ideas.-Augusta R.
