Bought as a gift for my mother. She loves cook books and loves this book!

This book is not for everyone. Its strictly for those that think any meal that contains plenty of meat and potato's with everyday spices is still the very best. There is no soy', no sushi, (yeeech!) no low fat, salt, cholesterol or anything else that is traditionally delicious but now left out of most meals within the physically fit crowd. If your someone that feels that whenever you decide to dig in on occasion you want everything that is supposed to be there, still there, you will love this book. Or, if your just someone that longs for the days of the old cowboy and the lonesome prairie, you will love it just for the thoughts it provokes. Happy Trails!!!
Very neat

It has some really cool quotes in it and some of those hard to find old recipes. Great buy
Ummm.... Where's the Brisket ?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am a huge fan of this genre of cooking. I own a lot of these types of cookbooks. But one thing I know better than anything else, is that there isn't a cowboy or chuckwagon driver alive that doesn't know how to cook brisket. So if you're an author, and dare to place the words "Cowboy", & Chuckwagon" in the title of your cookbook (to say nothing of placing them both ), it better have a recipe for Brisket. So whatever this cookbook is, it can't be a 5 star for that reason. However having said that, the 7-year old demands "Biscuits" & you have no yeast. 17 miles to the store where maybe they have it. Page 78 "John's Baking Powder Buscuits". Like I said, I'm a huge fan of the genre.
