Unlike many of the other cookbooks I looked at, this relies heavily on written records rather than oral tradition or current practices. The quotes from early journals and other eyewitness accounts make it clear that those are not great sources for anyone interested in preparing such food themselves, so he also consulted local cookbooks and other Native Cookbooks to try to get back to the most basic preparations and ingredients that would have been historically accurate.
Many of the preparations are so accurate they're likely to be intimidating to a contemporary home cook, but he does include some updated substitutions. I tried a recipe that he noted doesn't always work and I didn't have much luck with it, but at least the instructions noted the possible result (corn-bean bread, boiled from a mash of hominy and canned beans - mine was probably still too wet, since it dissolved quickly).
