Additional Details

Description: Steamboat Adventures, Recipes and Stories of Early-Day Settlers is more than just a cookbook, more than just history. It's a unique mix of old-time recipes and tall-but-true tales from our past. 

Steamboat Adventures brings you recipes contributed during the last 20 years by readers of Discovery Publications. Family favorites, long-lost secrets and some real surprises are among the more than 250 collected for you from our popular monthly recipe feature. 

Steamboat Adventures, Recipes and Stories of Early-Day Settlers chronicles the earliest trips down the Mississippi and battles with the Mighty Missouri. Among the steamship travelers were witnesses to the famous New Madrid earthquake which rocked the Midwest in 1811. There's the story of unique river men like Joseph Labarge, the greatest captain on the treacherous Missouri. Then there's the woman who didn't let her husband's gambling -- or her nightgown -- interfere with her family's trip west. 

You also will cherish the recipes, everything from cowboy beans, lazy sugar cookies and scripture cake to Missouri mix and Indiana fudge. There's also a wonderful array of home remedies and even a recipe for "leanness."
