Ranch & Trail Drive Cooking

[Richard Kilgore]

I am working on a bibliography on ranching & the range cattle industry for a historical library and could use some help from the wide range of knowledgeable members here for cookbooks and other food related books.

While cookbooks is an obvious category, we're also looking for history, biography, autobiography, fiction and poetry that has notable food content. Virtually any book in any category or discipline that has food-related content.

Any ideas, cowboys and cowgirls?

Most definitely *not* a cowgirl here, but perhaps:

"Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices" by

George Leonard Herter (Author), Berthe Herter (Author)

Somehow a title that begins that way sticks in the far corners of one's brain

Are you looking only for American references, or for books on the subject of back country life from any country?

[Richard Kilgore]

The bibliography is focused on the US, maybe a little into Mexico or Canada. Mostly from Texas up the middle of the US, New Mexico, Arizona, California up the west coast to the North West and across to Montana. Also Florida and the South East. And anywhere else in the US.

But I am personally curious about anything on ranch cooking or cooking on trail drives anywhere in the world, and would be glad to know about related books on Australia, Snadra, or on Mexico, Central and South America.
