Keep 'Em Full and Keep 'Em Rollin': The All-American Chuckwagon Cookbook

by Natalie Bright

Overview

**2022 Will Rogers Medallion Award Gold Winner for Western Cookbook**

A local rancher and Texas Panhandle pioneer, Charles Goodnight, is credited with inventing the chuckwagon, an iconic symbol of the great cattle drives of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and a critical part of keeping cattle moving across the Great Plains. The fire-pit cooking techniques used to keep the hard-working cowhands fed are still popular today. And many experienced chuckwagon cooks are still hard at work—chuckwagon cook-offs are a popular competitive arena for their skills.

Keep ’Em Full and Keep ’Em Rollin’: The All-American Chuckwagon Cookbook is full of more than 100 recipes and the history of the cattle trailing industry. It also includes first-hand accounts of life on the range from the men and women who were there alongside archival images and stunning food photography.
