Old book. I have a hard time distinguishing between 'tried and true' old techniques and 'new and improved...the old way was all wrong!' techniques...but maybe that's just the worry wart in me.

Recently I picked up reprints of 'Camp Cookery' (1910) and Shelters, Shacks & Shanties (1914) and was amazed to learn just how many things haven't changed in the last 100 years...and how many great ideas have been buried by modern convenience and technology...sad really.
