The point of view of this Big Thicket book is the reminiscences and recipes of the boarding houses: the food and fixing it and eating it, and the stories of the people who ran them and stayed in them. This book is about the tales told by and about all of those folks in the boarding houses and the pork chops they served to the loggers, railroad hands, and roughnecks; and the mashed potatoes and gravy they served to the drummers and ''ladies'' that followed a boom, wherever it might occur; and the chicken and dumplings they served to all those who held together the Big thicket social fabric during those boisterous, growing times.
