In his book, "A Diary of 44 Days", Teddy Kearny recounts the Sept. 1899 long journey by covered wagon from Lone Elm, Kansas to Capitan, New Mexico. The travelers kept a diary. Here are two recipes from that diary:
Buffalo Jerky
Slice buffalo meat along the grain into strips 1/8 " thick, 1/2" wide and 2-3 inches long. Hang them on a rack in a pan and bake at 200 degrees until dry. To prepare outside, suspend them over a fire or drape them on bushes to dry in the sun.
Sonofabitch Stew
2 lbs. lean beef
Half a calf heart
1 1/2 pounds calf liver
1 set sweetbreads
1 set brains
1 set marrow gut
salt, pepper
Louisiana hot sauce
Kill off a young steer. Cut up beef, liver and heart into 1 inch cubes; slice the marrow gut into small rings. Place in a dutch oven or deep casserole. Cover meat with water and simmer for 2-3 hours. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Take sweetbreads* and brains and cut in small pieces. Add to stew. Simmer another hour, never boiling.
* Sweetbreads are the thymus glands of veal, young beef, lamb and pork.
