Volume : Montana 1883
Abstract:
Single volume recipe book (125 pages), containing mainly recipes for desserts or fancy dishes. Several pages at the very end include menus and guest lists for parties and dinners given from January to April 1883. Guests include Governor Crosby, General Ruger, the Botkins, Chumaseros, Popes, and Murphys. Recipes include cakes (Quaker pound, black, gold, white, Washington, Prince of Wales, mountain pound, snow sponge) and other desserts (Bavarian cream with fruit variations, snow pudding, nougat, Cox's gelatin, graham gems, pies, coconut candy). Also present are many recipes for puddings including velvet, dandy, puff, tapioca, and suet. Other recipes are for muffins, veal dishes, and a pain cure. Most recipes are attributed to a person or to "Montana Cookbook." Several of the recipes were written on loose pieces of paper. One newspaper clipping pertains to Montana's first teacher, Lucia Darling ("Montana's First Teacher Taught in Gallows Shadow").
