This vintage publication from Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Colorado State University) offers a fascinating glimpse into the art of outdoor cooking in the early 20th century. Written by Stewart G. Case, an extension specialist in the college’s home economics department, “Outdoor Cookery” provides practical advice and recipes for campers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts of the era. The book’s well-preserved pages reveal a time when outdoor recreation was gaining popularity, and cooking over an open fire or camp stove was a necessary skill. Beyond its utilitarian value, the bulletin serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the growing interest in nature and the great outdoors that took hold in America during the early 1900s. For collectors of vintage Americana, regional publications, or culinary history, this humble yet captivating volume offers a unique perspective on a bygone era’s approach to outdoor living and cuisine.
