In early spring, at Westport, you'd find a polyglot of nationalitiesYankee traders from New England; French and Canadian émigrés; Spaniards and Mexicans; German political refugees; English travelers (in those days, still generally considered to be spies); blacks from both North and Southslave and free; and American Indians from many tribes. All were involved in the business of the trail. Holding pens for the cattle, horses, mules, and oxen perfumed the air.

Nonetheless, charming Arrow Rock has a long association with the Page 2 Santa Fe Trail, Dr. John Sappington's famous malaria pills, and artists who portrayed the early days so vividly.

Turn the gravy over the fish (Webster, The Improved Housewife, 67). Page 5 Fish should not be put in to fry until the fat is boiling hot. It is very necessary to observe this. It should be dipped in Indian [corn]meal before it is put in. People are mistaken, who think fresh fish should be put into cold water as soon as it is brought into the house; soaking it in water is injurious. If you want to keep it sweet, clean it, wash it, wipe it dry with a clean towel, sprinkle salt inside and out, put it in a covered dish and keep it on the cellar floor until you want to cook it (Child, The American Frugal Housewife, 58).
