(Massachusetts) The Pocumtuc Housewife; a Guide to Domestic Cookery as it is practiced in the Connecticut Valley…by Several Ladies.

Tan wrappers printed in red & black. Deerfield: Willard Lend a Hand Society, 1897.

Originally published in 1805, this is a reprint with additions, and is an important document in early American cookery. Recipes for Rhode Island cakes, Grandmother Arms’ boiled dinner, sea pie, roast turkey, pan dowdy, boiled Indian pudding, etc. found their inception here. Major foxing to wrappers, else good.
