The recipes and history of Governor Miriam A. Ferguson.

Miriam A. Ferguson was the first woman governor of Texas. Serving from 1925 to 1927 and again from 1933 to 1935. The recipes are from Mrs. Ferguson's collection of recipes and kitchen instructions, many of which were handwritten. Her collection spans the years from 1899, when she married, until the time of her death in 1961. They come from a variety of sources, as it seems, Miriam traded recipes with just about everyone she knew.

"Ma's In The Kitchen" shares with us "Ma" Ferguson's remarkable life and recipes.
