RE: 1860s Period Foods - Including Good Down Home Eatin'
Have found some wonderful period cookbooks - the first is Mrs. Goodfellow's Cookery as it Should Be, 1865, published by T. B.Peterson Brothers - the very same firm which published the Conspiracy Trial Transcript! This is a FREE PDF -

(Anyone who wants a copy of this - I have it in PDF format if you can't download it for any reason....just let me know!)

Also - another good book (eBook is cheapest) is Lincoln's Labels which details the period products which still exist today and were popular in Mr. Lincoln's time - http://www.amazon.com/Lincolns-Labels-Am...1889020281 I own this one and it's a good one.....


Think that I'm gonna buy this one for $3.99 -

This site is wonderful -- curious as to what they even <ahem> drank? Includes some "buzz" receipts as well! And yes, "Potato Chips" or "Crisps" existed during the Civil War!!
