Excellently sourced examples of Americans and their food!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago

I bought this book for a friend, but I wound up reading the whole thing before I gave it to her. The author provides stiking examples of the Old West fetish with French naming, the Chinese influence on SW fare, and dietary superstitions of the time.This book gives you a glimpse not just of the food, but the life that shaped it and the way food shaped life on the frontier and in mining towns of the Sierra Nevada.
