Abstract:
EARLY AMERICAN BAKING IN THE COLONIES is a marvelous as well as unique collection of delightfully different baking recipes favored by the families of the heroic patriots involved in the American Colonial Independence Movement back in the late 1700s. The illustrious names of some of these heroic men from America’s past are well known to Americans today -- Washington, Jefferson, Paul Revere, Franklin, Nathan Hale, Madison, etc. Many others have, unfortunately, been forgotten with the passage of time -- Bassett, Hopkinson, Fitzsimons, Smith, Williams, McHenry, etc. Each updated recipe is followed by an exciting, easy-to-read biographical sketch covering interesting highlights of the person’s accomplishments, thoughts and beliefs.
