"Camp Fires and Camp Cooking: or, Culinary Hints for the Soldier: Including Receipt for Making Bread in the 'Portable Field Oven' Furnished by the Subsistence Department" by Captain James M. Sanderson is a practical guide focused on military cooking, likely written during the early 1860s amidst the American Civil War. This historical account aims to provide culinary instructions for soldiers in the field, emphasizing the use of limited resources and equipment available to them. The book offers a detailed compilation of cooking methods, recipes, and tips to aid soldiers in preparing nutritious meals using basic campfire cooking techniques. It discusses essential utensils and rations while highlighting the importance of cleanliness and efficiency in meal preparation. Sanderson shares specific recipes, such as beef and pork soups, bean dishes, and even bread-making instructions using a portable oven, demonstrating that even in challenging conditions, a soldier can enjoy hearty and satisfying meals. The guide serves not only as a manual for sustenance but also fosters morale, teaching that a well-fed soldier is a happier and healthier soldier. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
