Cowboys and Cookouts

Here is a collection of pure fun--a book of beautiful black-and-white photographs, illustrations, old campfire sayings, songs, and even recipes that capture the romance of the fabled American Wild West. Readers who enjoy outdoor cookouts will relish this anthology"™s recipe for cowboy-style pork and beans, whether they prepare it over a campfire or on the kitchen range. A more ambitious recipe for red hot barbecue ribs comes with recommendations for serving with corn-on-the-cob, cornbread, and potato salad. The illustrations range from the nostalgic to the humorous. Typical is a photo of two cowboys on horseback who have nearly disappeared into the distance. The caption is a favorite cowboy"™s maxim: "If you"™re ridin"™ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it"™s still there."�
