We were on our own for the first time last weekend, as far as cooking was concerned; as our beloved camp cook, “Ms. Kelly” retired this year.
It wasn’t a problem. I found some tasty recipes from a website called The Chuckwagon Diner. A favorite of the children was the “broomstick pie”.
Broomstick Pies Recipe
- Crescent Rolls
- Chocolate & Vanilla Pudding (or any pie filling you desire)
- Butter
Directions:
You will need wooden broomstick handles (if there is paint on the handle, remove and clean first) or any wooden handles for this recipe. Butter your broomstick handle. Take one of the crescent rolls and drape over the top of the handle, work it around the handled then square together so there are no holes. Take this to your campfire over the hot coals (no flames, please) and rotate continuously until browned; when crescent roll slides up and down easily, it is done. Remove crescent roll with paper towel (it will be hot, be careful). Spoon in your favorite topping. Enjoy!
Good to the last bite!

Hello Jane,
Have you seen this website yet?

These are Real Silver Gelatin Stereo Photos, taken with 100yr old glass plate cameras. You might remember me walking around with them on Saturday.
Anyway, I thought you might be interested in these, and I think there are some pictures of you, and your family.
I hand developed over 300 negatives of that day, and with “Old camera” and “Old Photographer” errors, light leaks etc. these are what I ended up with. I thought that you and the other reenactors deserved to have a proper record of your efforts, done in a truely authentic and historic medium.
I am still busy in my darkroom producing the “real” silver gelatin stereo card set, and I would like to donate a set to one of the historical groups to archive and display to the public, one of the greatest stereoview collections of a civil war event, since the photos of Gardner and Gibson at Antietam in 1862. If you have any suggestions on who would I should give this set to, please let me know.
