Attica, Indiana was started by George Hollingsworth, who started with just a few log cabins in 1825. By the time this community cookbook was published, a few houses had electricity, and were making ice cream cake, baked beans, pumpkin pie, and more. A large portion of this book contains recipes for preserving. 

Stains to wrappers, chipping to spine and extremities; period news clipping pinned to front free endpaper, else good.
