I am looking for an old link that was posted here about a year ago. It dealt with the "lost art" of homemaking and country living from American women in past generations. I remember alot of it as depression era and before. Anyone remember this one or something similar? It was really good stuff.
Thanks! |

I was intent on various methods of meat preservation when I made my selections. They call them "cook books" but they're so much more. They're one stop life manuals for living in the 1800's. Buckeye Cookery and Practical Housekeeping, 1877 - http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_33.cfm The Blue Grass Cookbook - http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_57.cfm This one is from 1831... Very neat. Incredibly long title. Let's call it Not Mad for short - http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_07.cfm Complete Cook, 1864 - http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_23b.cfm Dr. Chase's Recipes, 1864 - This is like a great big book of everything - http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/books/book_22.cfm |
