About the Author

Eldon was born in 1948 amid the Appalachian woodland in a tiny rental house adjacent to the Cutlip family farm in rural Pennsylvania. He remembers hauling buckets of foamy-warm milk along rough-hewn planks that led to his grandparent's stone spring house. Always ice cold, even in the summer heat.<P> When he wasn't helping out, he and his sidekick Stubby Tombs roamed the farmland woods and streams in search of bullfrogs and creek chubs. Sometimes, the smell of maple-smoked sausages and jerky wafted through the cracks of a neighbors aging smokehouse. It was seriously tempting, promising a tasty treat for boys slippery enough to sneak a piece or two.<P> Eldon moved about in the 50 years since those special days on the Appalachian farm, making a living as a journeyman meat cutter at numerous mom-and-pop grocery stores and supermarket conglomerates. And he boned beef for a mid-sized meat packing plant in Rochester, New York, at which point he befriended an old-world sausage maker and gained a wealth of first-hand knowledge about the art of making sausage.<P> Eldon and his wife, Karen, moved west and started a small custom sausage kitchen of their own in Harpster, Idaho. They operated the business successfully for seven years, arguably producing some of the state's best wild game sausage and jerky. Eldon compiled a wealth of recipe formulas during that time, many of which are in this text. Others are from friends and bygone acquaintances. I thank them for their contributions.
