Abstract
Williams uses original texts liberally-diaries, letters, contemporary published accounts, cookbooks-and a method I appreciate: voices from the past, rather than a modern voice telling us what voices from the past said. The book's illustrations and photos significantly add to the reader's understanding and appreciation of the severe demands of cookery on the Trail.
