The Centennial History of Oklahoma.

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.

Fifteen years in the making, this book emerges as a new approach to presenting culinary information. It showcases a myriad of sumptuous, mouth-watering recipes comprising the many commonalities in ingredients and methods of food preparation of people of color from various parts of the globe. This powerful book traces and documents the continent's agricultural and mineral prosperity and the strong role played by ancient explorers, merchants, and travelers from Africa's east and west coasts in making lasting culinary and cultural marks on the United States, the Caribbean, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, India, and Southeast Asia. Groundbreaking in its treatment of heritage survival in African and African American cooking, this illuminating book broadens the scope of cuisine as it examines its historical relationship to a host of subjects—including music, advertising, sexual exploitation, and publishing. Provocative in its perspective, The Peppers, Cracklings, and Knots of Wool Cookbook dispels the long-standing misnomer that African cuisine is primitive, unsophisticated or simply non-existent, and serves as a reference in understanding how Africa's contributions continue to mark our cuisine and culture today.
