An original copy of a prerevolutionary cookbook belonging to Lincoln County Historical Association has an unbroken provenance since Major Samuel Goodwin bought it on Aug. 28, 1772 for his daughter Abigail, through his family and descendants until it came into the ownership of the LCHA in 1954. The cookbook includes two pages of engravings on how to prepare poultry and small game for roasting created by none-other-than Paul Revere. LCHA is now offering facsimiles of The Frugal Housewife for sale online and in person at the Pownalborough Court House.
