About this title

Synopsis

Sam Arnold's Eating Up the Santa Fe Trail is a gustatory revisit of mealtime along the old trail. Using various travel accounts, Arnold provides directions for making camp meals and for recreating dinners provided along the way at stops such as Bent's Fort and the Hays House at Council Grove. The recipes, written in a clear and entertaining style, cover everything from moose nose to Turkish pilaf for one hundred; Arnold helpfully suggests modern substitutes for ingredients that are no longer easily available.
