Printer suggested from advertisement on page 128. ~ Evident first edition. A church cookbook with more than two hundred recipes many of them attributed.

Episcopalians claim a sort of precedence owing to reports of a service held by visitors from Circle a mining town northeast of Fairbanks in 1903 in the Fairbanks Saloon. Another assertion of priority concerns St. Matthew's Hospital - built of logs like the Church on land adjacent - which administered perhaps also as early as 1904 to prospectors and trappers old-timers and chechacos of every nationality encountered on the trails among them Canadians Finns Russians Italians Norwegians Australians and others as recorded by a witness one Deaconess Clara Carter in The Alaska Churchman no. 1 June 1906. A source of pride was a small church belfry holding a bell cast in Troy New York in 1905 and inscribed with words of the first local bishop: "O ye Frost and Cold bless ye the Lord; praise Him and magnify Him forever." Members of Saint Matthew's also started the first lending library in a room at the rear of the church initiated the first kindergarten and organized the first troop of Boy Scouts in Fairbanks. ~ Shortly after publication of Favorite Recipes in 1947 the log church burned but the altar communion rail lectern - carved from Alaskan birch - as well as the 1905 bell were saved eventually to be installed in a new woodframe structure dedicated on Christmas Eve 1948. The congregation celebrated its centenary in 2004 and flourishes still. ~ Three-hole punched and plastic-ring bound with original beige cover illustrated in a style reminiscent of Jugendstil woodcuts; lightly soiled front loosened from rings as are several leaves. Still good or a bit better. Scarce. OCLC locates two copies; in neither Brown nor Cagle. [The Church; Printed by Tanana Publishing(?)] unknown books

Alaska Crippled Children's Association Students of the Shishmaref Day School; Isabelle B. BinghamABAA

Eskimo Cook Book. Prepared By Students of the Shishmaref Day School Shishmaref Alaska

19525333Anchorage: Alaska Crippled Children's Association 1952. Duodecimo-size stapled booklet 13.25 x 10.5 cm. ii 1-36 ii pages. Illustrated. Table of contents. Title from cover. Publisher from page i and date of publication from page ii. ~ Second printing. Now with changes in pagination; the "Consent to Print" is on the verso of the title page and the rear contains an order form and advertisements for additional items for sale. The artwork also drawn by "R. Seetomona" depicts the same image of a young woman sitting near a stove but the stylized lettering with title letters formed from images of fish or seal drying on a line is clearer and a bit more complex the young woman's haircut is longer and parted in the middle and the pot on the stove has five heat lines instead of six. All other issues of this work we have examined have had this artwork and have been printed in black on colored wrappers. And all other issues contain an order form in various configurations as well as lists of other items for sale. ~ Eighty attributed recipes gathered from Inupiaq students participating in a school project and electing "to share the profits with the Alaska Crippled Children's Association" page ii. In some cases latitude is required to explain the lack of detail in recipes contributed by children for example: "Owl. Take feathers off from owl. Clean owl and put in cooking pot. Have lots of water in pot. Add salt to taste." But in other cases details are generously given as in the caution provided for Willow Meats with seal oil: "Never eat green stuff on willows" and in another when preparing mouseleaves Pick'Nick: "Maybe the white men don't like them." Other delicacies: Mazue Root Eskimo potato Eskimo Ice cream with reindeer tallow Baked Seal Liver Walrus Stew Oogruk i.e. bearded seal Intestine Soup and Seal Flippers. A cooperative venture between the public Day School in Shishmaref in the far north-on Sarichef Island north of the Bering Strait-and the Alaska Crippled Children's Association founded by a women's organization in Anchorage to fund orthopedic care for some twelve hundred children in Alaska then in dire need. Isabelle B. Bingham b. 1900 and her husband Herbert C. Bingham 1893-1965 were Alaska Native Service schoolteachers who taught in Shishmaref between 1948 and 1956. In 2002 fearing that life would no longer be possible on Sarichef owing to the effects of global climate change the inhabitants of Shishmaref voted in referendum to relocate. But moving a village of five hundred has proved daunting and most residents as well as the school remain on the island as of this writing. In stapled black-decorated terra cotta wrappers; upper stained at back corners chip to lower right corner; rear panel with closed tear. Good. OCLC locates numerous copies some miscredited to the teacher who penned the introductory note; a presumed second edition 1960 and third 1972 are documented; Brown 11 undated; not in Cagle.
