These recipes were collected by Mrs. Grierson during her husband's military career (1862-1888) and used to some extent at the many postings he had until her death in 1888. During a posting to Fort Davis Texas the family obtained some ranch land there and this is where the cookbook came to light in 1935. The book was a hodge podge of handwritten recipes, newspaper clippings, and recipes from friend and relatives pasted into a book format. Over 100 recipes in this book were selected and tested by National Park wives. Mrs. Grierson's recipe is listed first and the modern adaptation and method of preparation below. Her recipes reflect the ingenuity of a frontier wife for substitutes when certain ingredients were unavailable. Also included are some home remedies and housekeeping hints from the 1880s.

Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used copy! Black boards with silver lettering on the spine. 311 historical and informative pages! "On any given day, nearly half a million children are served by foster care services in the U.S. at an annual cost of over $25 billion. Growing demand and shrinking funds have so greatly stressed the child welfare system that calls for orphanages have re-entered the public debate for the first time in nearly half a century. New ideas are desperately needed to transform a system in crisis, guarantee better outcomes for children in foster care, and reduce the need for out-of-home care in the first place. Yet little is known about what works in foster care. Very few studies have examined how alumni have fared as adults or tracked long-term health effects, and even fewer have directly compared different foster care services. In one of the most comprehensive studies of adults formerly in foster care ever conducted, the Northwest Foster Care Alumni Study found that quality foster care services for children pay big dividends when they grow into adults. Key investments in highly trained staff, low caseloads, and robust supplementary services can dramatically reduce the rates of mental disorders and substance abuse later in life and increase the likelihood of completing education beyond high school and remaining employed. The results of this unparalleled study document not only the more favorable outcomes for youth who receive better services but the overall return when an investment is made in high quality foster care: every dollar invested in a child generates $1.50 in benefits to society. These findings form the core of this book's blueprint for reform. By keeping more children with their families and investing additional funds in enhanced foster care services, child welfare agencies have the opportunity to greatly improve the health, well being, and economic prospects for foster care alumni. What Works in Foster Care? presents a model foster care program that promises to revolutionize the way policymakers, administrators, case workers, and researchers think about protecting our most vulnerable youth.".…
