The New England Cook Book: the Latest and Best Methods for Economy and Luxury at Home Annie B. Copps Collectors edition

Both an entertaining collection of recipes (which quickly become stories in themselves) and a fascinating slice of life from a century ago. Egg yolks are yelks, there are not one, but two mock turtle recipes that require the scalding and cleaning of a calf's head (don't ask about the tongue) and everything is cooked over fire- live, wood-burning fire.
