The National Cowboy Hall of Fame Chuck Wagon Cookbook gathers recipes and lore from Oklahoma’s top chuck wagon cooks of the 19th and 20th centuries. Beyond a collection of hearty dishes, it captures letters, folklore, and vintage photographs that celebrate life on the ranch and the open range.

First published in 1995 by Hearst Books, this hardcover edition spans 301 pages of ranch-style fare and rare memorabilia. It’s as much a piece of Americana as a practical guide to frontier cooking.

Readers will find step-by-step instructions for classics like sourdough bread, meatloaf, chili, stew, and bold coffee—dishes designed to feed cowhands in the saddle or family dinners at home.

Inside you’ll discover:

• Historical anecdotes and authentic chuck wagon stories
• Traditional ranch recipes with modern updates
• Rare photographs and personal letters from famed cooks
• Tips for rustic, outdoor-style cooking

Whether you’re a cooking enthusiast or history buff, this volume offers a window into a rich culinary tradition that continues to inspire adventurous home cooks today.
