1904 Sheridan Park Cookbook, Uptown Chicago, St. Simon's Mission

I love old cookbooks, and here's an interesting one currently on eBay. The cook book is from St. Simon's Mission of Sheridan Park, Chicago, and is dated 1904.

You can purchase it (at time of posting) from here: Sheridan Park Cookbook

From "The Lost Generation"

"It was Saturday night, and Uptown Chicago was at play. In the speakeasies and nightclubs muted trumpets blared jazz music to cover the sounds of laughter and the tinkling of ice in the glasses of 'bootleg hootch' and 'bath tub gin.' Flappers and their sheiks danced the Charleston, the Blackbottom, and other dances that had been created for this, the 'Jazz Age.'
