American Cookery

Amelia Simmons · Hudson & Goodwin, Hartford, Connecticut · 1796

Nearly every copy met with in commerce is a modern facsimile — most often the Oxford University Press facsimile of 1958 (with Mary Tolford Wilson's essay 'The First American Cookbook'), reissued by Dover in 1984, plus later reprints and adaptations; these are readily distinguished from a genuine 1796 Hartford printing.
