Heritage Cookbook 
To celebrate New Century of Service and pay tribute to the Decades
of Dedication given by Forest Service employees now retired,
the Intermountain Region and the National Museum of Forest Service
History (http://www.nmfs-history.net) are sponsoring a Heritage
Cookbook. Outdoor cooking and camping were a big part of the
early days of our agency. Rangers’ wives prepared meals
as they accompanied their spouses in the field and early day
k-rations were supplemented by meals prepared and served over
the open campfire. Manning rustic lookouts in remote locations
involved meal preparation using unique methods. Histories often
document how preparing food in the field was important and necessary
for existence.
This cookbook will feature recipes for Dutch oven meals, camp
fire cooking and other methods used in the early days of the
Forest
Service along with photos and anecdotes documenting these activities
of the past.
