Eating Near the Chuck Wagon
| A dozen or so ranch hands sitting on the ground and eating on the plain. The chuckwagon is behind them. A large coffee pot and a bucket of rolls is on the blanket on the ground in the center. Caption reads: "Big Lunch in the 'Forties'." A chuckwagon was originally a wagon that carried food and cooking equipment on the prairies of the United States and Canada. The invention of the chuckwagon is attributed to Charles Goodnight, a Texas rancher who introduced the concept in 1866. |
