Chuck Wagon Chow Time!
Photo by Smith, Erwin E. (Erwin Evans), 1907
Here's a link to the photo at the photo at the Library of Congress..
This scene of a chuck wagon at mealtime feels equal parts history and daydream. With iron pots over open fire and the wide West as a backdrop, it taps into a timeless longing for simple food and life lived a little closer to the land. I'm imagining myself right there in this outdoor kitchen!
