The Centennial Cookbook: Honoring Wilson's Cooks from the Past (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781940433004)

Wilson, Oklahoma was founded in the fall of 1913 when Jake Hamon and John Ringling were building the Oklahoma, New Mexico & Pacific Railroad west from Ardmore. Bypassing Hewitt, they started the new town of Wilson. Due to oil that was discovered shortly thereafter, by 1918 Wilson had a population of over 5,000 residents. In celebrating Wilson's centennial, and in remembrance of countless individuals-often under appreciated-who contributed to the development of Wilson, the Wilson Historical Society is proud to present The Centennial Cookbook: Honoring Wilson's Cooks from the Past. This book is as much a history as a cookbook and features many recipes (old and some newer)-along with pictures of the cooks and other information from Wilson's formative years. It will help you remember the cooks who contributed so much to the area's history as you relive times long past in Wilson and the South Central Oklahoma region.
