The Forgotten Skills That Kept Our Great-Grandmothers' Families Fed – Collected In One Printed Handbook

Suzanne Sherman had a comfortable life as an attorney in Los Angeles – until she traded it for a homestead in rural Utah and discovered how little of our great-grandparents' practical knowledge has survived. She spent years collecting those old frontier skills and testing them for modern households: how families preserved food for years without a refrigerator, the simple remedies they turned to when the doctor was days away, and how they kept clean water flowing with no grid at all. She gathered it all in The Lost Frontier Handbook – written for ordinary families, not survival experts.

Thousands of American households already keep the handbook on their kitchen shelf. Many readers – grandmothers, busy moms and retired couples alike – say it gave them something the news never does: the quiet confidence of knowing their pantry, their water and their family have a plan, whatever the next storm or grocery bill brings. It is a real printed book you can hold, dog-ear and pass on, and every method is explained step by step with pictures.

On the next page you can see what's inside the handbook – including the "frontier penicillin" chapter, the food preservation methods our ancestors relied on, and the three bonus guides currently included – and judge for yourself whether it belongs on your kitchen shelf.
