Introduction by Andrew F. Smith. Facsimile reprint of first edition, the first time it has ever been reprinted. “To those PLUCKY HOUSEWIVES who master their work instead of allowing it to master them, this book is dedicated.” Recipes created and collected by the women of the First Congregational Church of Marysville, Ohio (mainly Estelle Woods Wilcox although she remained anonymous at the time). Published in numerous revised versions and sold mainly by subscription, by 1900 Buckeye achieved the milestone of one million copies sold. Its success had inspired Wilcox to publish a German language edition as well as an Atlanta, Georgia knockoff called The Dixie Cook Book. 288 pages. Softcover.
