Certainly no offence taken, thanks for your contribution.
and Dave's Wife, Sorry, you'd already posted Wikipedia link, I missed it!

Just as an aside, I see there are two Alferd Packer cookbooks:

The Alferd Packer High Protein Cookbook
The Alferd Packer Wilderness Cookbook

I shudder to think what dishes are being prepared in these two publications.
