Synopses & Reviews
Here is a collection of pure fun—a book of beautiful black-and-white photographs, illustrations, old campfire sayings, songs, and even recipes that capture the romance of the fabled American Wild West. Readers who enjoy outdoor cookouts will relish this anthology’s recipe for cowboy-style pork and beans, whether they prepare it over a campfire or on the kitchen range. A more ambitious recipe for red hot barbecue ribs comes with recommendations for serving with corn-on-the-cob, cornbread, and potato salad. The illustrations range from the nostalgic to the humorous. Typical is a photo of two cowboys on horseback who have nearly disappeared into the distance. The caption is a favorite cowboy’s maxim: “If you’re ridin’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.” Approximately 60 photos.
