Boardin in the Thicket: Recipes and Reminiscences of Early Big Thicket Boarding Houses by Wanda A Landrey. Published by University of North Texas Press, Denton, TX, 1998. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Paperback. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine. Spine not broken, content like new. 192 Pgs. ISBN 1574410547. LCCN 89-24868. Illustrated with black and white photos. The point of view of this Big Thicket book is the reminiscences and recipes of the boarding houses: the food and fixing it and eating it, and the stories of the people who ran them and stayed in them. This book is about the tales told by and about all of those folks in the boarding houses and the pork chops they served to the loggers, railroad hands, and roughnecks; and the mashed potatoes and gravy they served to the drummers and ''ladies'' that followed a boom, wherever it might occur; and the chicken and dumplings they served to all those who held together the Big thicket social fabric during those boisterous, growing times.
