Charles L. Gilman to Horace Kephart, September 30, 1925
-
In a letter to Horace Kephart on September 30, 1925, Charles L. Gilman thanks Kephart for recognizing his cocoa in “Camping and Woodcraft”. Mr. Gilman and his wife also enjoy reading and using “Camp Cookery”. He asks Kephart if he “considered Indian cured wild rice as an emergency ration component” and explains the preparation of the dish using bacon grease.

Crane Lake,via Orr, St.Louis Co,,Minn. September }0,105£j, Mr.Horace Kephart, c/f Outing, New York City. Dear Sir: Have just now discovered your mention of my cocoa can stunt in Woodcraft and want to tell you I am pleased and proud of the recognition you give me. Your Camp Cookery undoubtedly preserved my digestion,if not my life,when I first took to the woods.Mrs.Oilman and I both learned to cook from it and it is today not only the mainstay of our camp fire work but the final authority in our city kitchen as well. Have you ever considered Indian cured wild rice as an emergency ration component. As the Ojibways prepare it,it is pretty well cooking by parching during the curing and hulling process.Indians and many white woodsaen carry it loose in their pockets and munch it raw while on the trail.It can be boiled or fried in bacon grease. This last is a handy way to combine quick cooking with the salvaging of the best part of the bacon ,and it works well in cold weather. I don't know the official nutritive rating of wild rice but I know that it has been the very satisfactory "vegetable bulk" element in my woods ration for fifteen years and that I craves a mess of it about once in so often when in the city. Again thanking you for the citation in Woodcraft,I am Yours respectfully „x » Charles L.Gilman.
