I enjoy his perspective,field cooking and preparation is uncommon in todays modern world.
Another excellent recipe book is Horace Kephart's " Camp Cookery " practical camping recipes for the field and prep of game.

... if interested do yourself a favor and order his " Camping and Woodcraft " which has the cooking book inserted between his volume one and two, it is one of the best references I have run into for general knowledge of a time gone by.
