Description: 1930s Cookbook For BoysJACK-KNIFE COOKERYBy James Austin Wilder(1937)Later printing of this cookbook detailing the gathering and cooking of food of one finds oneself stranded on a desert island or lost in a forest - aimed at Boy Scouts.Very good plus in very good minus dust jacket."This book is waste paper if it does not encourage boys to Experiment. Not always with gunpowder, either." While some recipes seem a bit aspirational for Wilder's wilderness scenarios (not sure about desert island custard), this book succeeds in capturing boys' interest in the culinary arts by taking them out of the kitchen. Wilder founded the first Boy Scout Troop in the then-US territory of Hawaii, and developed the Seascouting program. An interesting example of an effort to make cooking a less gendered activity.
