Recently got interested in American chuck wagon cooking.
Fascinating history and culture.
Found some good web sites and a couple of excellent Facebook pages. 
Today ordered two books from the US:
- Cow Camp Cookery,  David McDowell
- American Chuck Wagon Association cookbook

Having studied the chuck wagons I find it amazing that the cooks had to have meals ready for the cowboys and move the wagon to keep up with the moving of the cattle.

This review is worth a read ad my book is in the mail.

Recently, I received an amazing cook book titled "Cow Camp Cookery", written by Dave McDowell. It is far more than just a collection of recipes. The content covers the customs, conventions and chow of the campfire crusader that will grip the interest of any reader. The pages are lined with stories, quick quotes, and pictures that kept me intrigued as I turned each page. This is the best put together cookbook that has come along in a long time that earns my highest recommendation and is a must read.
