"Fiery Foods From Tombstone" by Ben Traywick
Tombstone of the 1880’s had a reputation for gunfights and boisterous activity. It also boasted a reputation as a gourmet outpost. It’s from this tradition that Mary Traywick, Ben’s wife, has prepared her book, Fiery Foods from Tombstone. The book also contains pictures of Tombstone 1880 restaurants and menus.
Recipes passed verbally from mother to daughter since the time of the conquistadors.
Ben T. Traywick earned 10 battle stars during his tour of duty in the Navy during World War II. He retired as a chemist, having worked in the explosives industry, and moved to Tombstone, Arizona. In 1957, Ben sold his first historical article and has never looked away from his lifelong interest. His first publication in the Tombstone Epitaph came in 1963, paving the road of a writing career that investigates virtually every aspect of that legendary
Wild West town and the persona's of its history. Since then, he has written more than 600 newspaper and magazine articles and has published over 40 pamphlets and books. Ben is the director of the Tombstone Tourism Association and the official town historian.
