Collector's Notes

The cover identifies this as the Woman's Suffrage Centennial Edition for South Pass City 1869 to 1969, and the foreword identifies it as the third edition prepared during the centennial year. That historical setting gives the cookbook a direct connection to Wyoming history as well as regional food.

A paper clip still marks a favorite recipe from the previous owner. That small detail gives this copy the familiar character of a cookbook that was actually kept close at hand and used in a kitchen.

The book combines Wyoming history with practical recipes from several parts of everyday cooking. That combination gives it plenty to read beyond a single recipe search.
