Pioneer Courage, Sacrifice and Determination Today's Jackson Hole, Wyoming ... A magnet for tourists who each year flock by the thousands to get a taste of the American West. But before the cars and buses, Jackson Hole was a land of wilderness, a place for Native Americans and fur trappers, a gathering spot for horse thieves and miners. Then came the homesteaders-men, women and children who saw the beauty of the land and decided to build a home within sight of the majestic Grand Tetons. Now mostly a memory ... Stories of bravery, love, heartbreak, joy and fortitude, brought back to life in Legacy of the Tetons. Get to know these remarkable people who battled the land and the elements to make a community. Feel the struggle of those-some of whom came on foot in the Mormon Handcart Migration-who lived and many who died. Experience the settlement known as Mormon Row. Meet the Moultons, the Mays, the Chambers and the Rinikers. Get to know their families. This is their story. This is their legacy.

History

Americas

Like thousands of other pioneers the families who were part of the 1846 Donner-Reed wagon train headed west in search of new opportunities. But this group instead found untold hardship and an immortal place in the annals of Western history. Terry Del Bene, a retired archaelogist, puts an interesting spin on the tale of the ill-fated Donner Party expedition. Documenting the historic wagon trip across America to the untimely fate met by the travelers in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, Del Bene provides the reader with not only a history lesson but also recipes of the day. Del Bene shares his knowledge of 19th century foods and cooking methods, and adds some ideas for hosting your own Donner party event. This is an informative and entertaining look at the food and cooking methods used by those early American travelers.
