Pioneer Recipes and Remedies
by Millie Foster Cheesman
This sesquicentennial collection is filled with delicious and fascinating pioneer recipes from all over the nation as well as the old country---enriched with poetry.
The author opens a window into the lives of pioneer women and the challenges of their times: how they lives, washed and ironed, cooked and preserved food, and cared for their families. All this without the conveniences we enjoy today.
History books primarily record the accomplishments of men--of ships and ocean voyages; conquests of vast lands and countries.
But let us not forget the often unsung heroines who worked beside their husbands and families. We thank them for their courage, their faith, and the heritage they left us.
Certainly the quality of life we enjoy today is rooted deeply in their valiant deeds. Perhaps remembering is the ultimate tribute!
