Apple Pie from 1890-1905
Join me as I try out Christmas recipes circa 1900!
Last year, I shared three recipes from three different cookbooks. You can find them here:
You can also find all my recipe videos in one easy playlist on my YouTube channel. (Be sure to hit that subscribe button while you’re there!)
This first recipe is for Apple Pie from a mix of cookbooks, one published in 1890, the other in 1905.
Pie CrustI made my own pie crust following this recipe:
3 cup flour
1 cup butter or margarine
2 tsp salt
Cold water
Mix flour and salt in bowl.Add in half of the butter and cut into the flour with a pastry cutter, or use fingers until it’s in pea-sized balls. Add rest of butter and cut in the same. Pour in cold water a tablespoon at a time. Mix by hand until correct consistency is reached.Separate into two balls. Chill until ready to bake, at least 30 minutes.Apple PieI ended up doing an amalgam of two recipes.
—A Book for a Cook by Pillsbury, published in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1905
Also,
—The Compendium of Cookery and Reliable Recipes, as prepared by Mrs. E. C. Blakeslee of Chicago, Miss Emma Leslie of Philadelphia, and Dr. S. H. Hughes, chemist, of Boston, published in Chicago, 1890
I baked my pie at 425 F for 15 minutes, then turned the oven down to 375 F for 30 minutes.
Pie Crust CookiesTurn the extra pie crust into pie crust cookies!
Pie crust dough
1/4 cup melted butter
Cinnamon sugar
Roll out pie crust dough.Cut dough into fun shapes and place on baking pan.Wipe with butter and sprinkle in cinnamon sugar.I baked these cookies along with my pie at 425 F for 15 minutes.

Mental Illness in the Gilded Age
If you’ve read Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, and have begun or finished Cupboards All Bared, you’ll know why I felt the need to share more information on the topic of mental illness in the Gilded Age. (You might also see what I’m attempting to show through the cover art thus far…)
With the upcoming release of Book 3, Crazy Maids in a Row, I felt it necessary to share certain links and information that might be interesting to readers, before we head into the asylum and the very depths of mental illness as understood in 1901.
It is an unfortunate truth that mental illnesses were only just beginning to be studied under a medical and scientific mindset, rather than a fantastical one, around the turn of the century.
Illnesses such as multiple personalities disorder often came to the public awareness first by way of a fictional representation.
Personal photo of an image from an edition of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde published in 1910Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published in 1886, and is said to be inspired by a dream he had, though the dream was most likely inspired by articles published at the time concerning the mysterious cases of Felida and Vivet.
In Cupboards All Bared, I made it a point to have a character who read scientific articles, and was capable of understanding them even if they were written in French. I needed this character to exist because I knew it would be important for modern-day readers to understand what my characters living in 1901 knew regarding mental illness.
From what I could find, little to nothing was known in America at the turn of the century regarding multiple personalities disorder.
In Cupboards All Bared, I made sure to only reference articles available circa 1901 regarding “multiple personalities” or “double consciousness.” I wanted to ensure my characters were provided the information that would only be historically available to them at that time, as there are many things we know now that they wouldn’t have known then.
Primarily my research relied on two articles. The first is “Amnesic periodique ou de dedoublement de la vie” originally published in Revue Scientifique in 1876 by a Dr. Azam and translated into English and republished in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. You can read the original article here. Founded in 1874, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease is “the world’s oldest independent scientific monthly in the field of human behavior.”
Dr. Azam’s research focused on a young French woman named Felida who presented dual states, remaining unaware of the alternate personality when in the secondary state. Her two states were completely different from each other, one state even being capable of speaking another language and having abilities like playing the piano that the first state did not know.
A brief examination of Dr. Azam’s Felida X case can be found here, published in 1904 by Boris Sidis, Ph.D. & Simon P. Goodhart, M.D. Entitled “Multiple Personality: An experimental investigation into human individuality,” this article once more reveals some of the interpretations and thoughts regarding double personality in my focus time period.
The other central article to my research was this article published in Dissociation in 1997. In this article, Dr. Azam’s research regarding Felida X was referenced (which was how I found the original article), as well as Dr. Camuset’s research into the Frenchman Vivet, coming from “Un cas de dedoublement de la personnalite; piriode amnesique d’une annie chez unjeune homme” in the Annales Médico-Psychologiques by Dr. Camuset.
In the 1997 article, Dr. Camuset’s research was repeatedly referenced, drawing quotes and paraphrasing from this bibliographic listing: Camuset, L. (1882). Un cas de dedoublement de la personnalite; piriode amnesique d’une annie chez unjeune homme. Annales Médico-Psychologiques, [edition?] 40, 75-86. I was unable to find a copy of the original article published in 1882, but I was able to piece together his research through this paper.
Vivet is an unfortunate case where his multiple personalities—there were as many as perhaps ten by the end—were most likely manifested and emphasized due to electric shock therapy and other horrific practices by the researching doctors.
Meanwhile, in the Pullman Herald, there was an article published on 7 April 1893 regarding “Dual Personality: Residual Phenomena of the Mind in Sane People” which seemed to suggest “dual personality” was nothing more than comparable to sleepwalking or the distracted state of the average creative-type!
I describe these articles in summary in Cupboards All Bared, and together they helped inform Roslyn and her research in the book. All of this comes to a head, of course, when we head to the Medical Lake Asylum in Book 3, Crazy Maids in a Row!
I hope this blog has helped you to see the extent to which I’ve gone in my research to ensure an accurate, historical portrayal of mental illness in my books. If you didn’t heed my warning, and you haven’t read my books, I recommend reading the first two books in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries before continuing to the newest release:

Titles in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries
One of the questions I often get about the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries is:
Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker This first book in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries originally was titled The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker.
Per the title, I’d written my first draft attempting to adhere very strictly to representing each of these characters.
As such, in the original manuscript, the butcher was the murderer, the baker was a crazy person in jail credited with starting the Great Fire of 1889, and the candlestick maker was Mr. Matsumoto, my blacksmith inventor who never left the book.
If you’ve read Butcher, Baker, you’ll see how it changed ever so slightly in the rewrite. I won’t say more here for fear of giving anything away.
The title changed to Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker when I realized the Red Rogue was going to play a more central role, and I wanted a twist on the nursery rhyme title so the book would stand out.
Altogether, I thought it worked rather well!
Cupboards All BaredAs I’ve mentioned before, Cupboards All Bared began with an article I discovered announcing the visit of President McKinley to Spokane in May of 1901, and that he’d be staying with the Campbells. I knew the story would center around this, though I didn’t have a title yet.
During my research of McKinley, I stumbled across this political cartoon…
This political cartoon is from 1897, published in Judge, a satirical magazine of the time. Drawn by Victor Gillam, it shows President McKinley as Old Mother Hubbard with a dog wearing the face of Uncle Sam, finding the cupboard, which has an image of the US treasury in deficit, bare.
Need I say more? I even had my nursery rhyme-inspired title to continue the pattern!
I thought it fitting that in the book, over the course of the story, many cupboards are bared—figuratively and literally—revealing the secrets hidden within.
Crazy Maids in a RowBook 3 in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries releases in October! Although I haven’t yet revealed the cover, I can tell you about the title.
In Book 3, we head to the Eastern Washington Hospital for the Insane—or Medical Lake Asylum, as it was more commonly known at the time.
I already had my plot: The Baker is in the Medical Lake asylum, which means all should be well with the world. But when a string of murders draws Marian, Archie, and the Carew brothers to her doorstep, they begin to wonder if she’s at it again…
The title came pretty easily along with the plot!
What will be the title of Book 4?????You’ll just have to wait to find out!You can learn more about the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries all across my website.

Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker Synopsis
However, if you’re looking for a synopsis because you’re hoping to start Book 2, Cupboards All Bared, and you need a little help remembering what happened in Book 1, you’re in the right place!
By special request, I’d like to share the synopsis of Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker here for those in need of it. This does not cover all the nuances and character development found in the novel, but I’ve tried to cover the most important parts necessary for you to remember before diving into Book 2.
Again, THIS DOES INCLUDE SPOILERS!
If you’re looking for a character list, you can find that here!
May 1901: The designer of the Great Northern Railroad’s new depot clock tower, Archie Prescot, has arrived in Spokane, Washington determined to leave his mark on history. Fate, and his ability to create unique clock chimes, leads him to a patroness, Miss Mitchell. He’s delighted to join a blind Japanese inventor working on similar ideas, until their patroness is found beheaded in their workshop.
Archie’s landlords, Detective Carew and his twin brother, Thomas, are on the case, hopeful they haven’t taken in a murderer. The Carews begin by questioning Miss Mitchell’s household, learning, amongst other things, the maid’s abusive husband has gone missing and the house was burglarized the night before the murder.
Archie, meanwhile, is making new friends, including a young lady named Marian, who’s recently returned to town after her grandmother’s passing, and happens to have grown up with the maid of the house, Eleanor, as her governess. Marian and Eleanor meet to console one another, recalling how they met just after the Great Fire of 1889. Eleanor also reveals she’s found proof that her abusive husband was having an affair with Miss Mitchell.
As the Carew brothers continue in their pursuit, they discover Miss Mitchell was strangled before she was beheaded. She was also being blackmailed by someone who learned she had made her money by stealing the patents of the blind inventor she was patronizing, and changed her will the day before she was murdered so that the inventor would inherit everything as recompense.
Archie’s growing friendship with the Japanese inventor pulls him in two directions: fear that he is befriending a potential murderer, and finally finding a like-minded individual that he respects. To pull him in more directions yet, he discovers the woman he is falling for, Marian, is actually the burglar, though she swears she’s no murderer.
Determined to prove the innocence of his new friend, Archie works with the Carew brothers only to learn that a second body was hidden in the blacksmith’s fire. Reminded of the rumor that the Great Fire was started when someone attempted to bake a body in an oven, they begin to wonder if “the Baker” has returned.
The final clue is found by Marian, however, when she comes across Eleanor grinding bone for chicken feed grit, an ashy bucket of large bones—human bones—at her feet. She steals the bucket and sprints to the Carew brothers, Eleanor on her heels.
When Eleanor sees they have all the clues necessary to put her story together, she tells them her version of events: how she found her abusive, cheating husband strangling Miss Mitchell and had to defend herself against him. As she tries to recall how her husband’s body ended up in the forge, “the Baker” reveals herself to be an alternate personality, one that comes out to protect Eleanor against the evil men in her life, like her first husband back in 1889.
And so ends the first mystery of the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries…
Ready to dive into Book 2, Cupboards All Bared, now?In this sequel to Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Taker, we’re once again transported to Spokane, 1901. A body discovered in Hangman Creek looks to be the result of an accidental fall, but what begins as a “simple” mystery for Thomas Carew and his twin brother Bernard quickly becomes a lot more complicated, including implications that tie in with the bombings at the Idaho mines, and perhaps even President McKinley’s planned visit.
Cupboards All Bared is Book 2 in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries.

We’re Moving!
We have exciting news! We’re moving to Colorado Springs!
I won’t be posting any new blogs for the next few weeks as we make this transition. We’re very excited, though I’m sure you have a few questions.
But…wait! What about the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries?Never fear, the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries will not end just because I’m moving. I will be changing my author bio, though I suppose I could keep it since I’ll still be living “just outside Spokane”—just REALLY far outside! Haha.
I take comfort in the fact that authors are constantly writing about cities where they don’t live, though I’ve been thoroughly blessed to be able to live and research in the city where my series takes place thus far.
How will you do research?I’ve been spending this summer stocking up on all the local hands-on research I need for the next THREE books in the series! I’ve also made so many amazing contacts I know for certain I need only reach out and ask to receive answers to all my most pressing questions.
There’s also the bonus that so much is available online now for researching! For example, I can view a lot of the photographs I need right here at the Ferris Archives’ online portal. You can search photographs or objects. Check it out! There are some fascinating items available! (I recommend searching for 1900 to find all sorts of things associated with my books and Spokane in 1901!)
And thanks to the fact that we have so many family and friends in the Spokane area, I’ll be back often for more in-person events, research, photographing, videos, and more!
What about events?Because we’re moving to a new city, and one that’s easily accessible to much of the country, I’ll be planning a much broader spectrum of in-person events across the US!
If you’re in Colorado or any of the surrounding states, let me know if you’d be interested in scheduling an event with me in the near future! (Don’t forget: Book 3 releases October 25th!)
I’m also ALWAYS available for virtual events! Ask your library or favorite bookstore about scheduling with me today!
Book Clubs! Don’t forget: you can always reach out to me about participating in your next discussion if your club is reading one of my books! I’d love to share more about the behind-the-scenes of writing and answer any questions you might have for me!
Be sure to watch my website here on the events page for my next event!
Other questions? Leave me any questions you might have in the comments and I’ll get back to you when I can between packing!Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes you can send my way as we begin this next season in our lives. Next stop, Colorado!

Sanborn Maps of Spokane circa 1901
One of my main sources for researching locations in 1901 Spokane has become Sanborn Maps.
Sanborn maps are fire insurance maps, created to show where buildings existed in a city for safety reasons, including where the water mains ran and where the nearest station is.
Like most maps of Spokane around my time period, I have yet to find one from exactly 1901, or even 1900. However, I’ve been able to locate Sanborn Maps of Spokane from 1902, which are a very fair representation of the city from 1901, since they were most likely made in 1902 to reflect the buildings that existed in 1901. (Much like the Polk’s City Directory, where I use the 1902 edition for the same reason.)
Thankfully, these are in the public domain now, and not only that, some of them have been scanned into the Library of Congress website where you can find all sorts of fascinating articles, papers, maps, and more from throughout history. Previously, none of this would have been available without walking in and asking specifically for Sanborn Maps and having to wait while a librarian searched for them in their system database containing maps from thousands of cities across the United States.
How about that for awesome technological advancements?
Library of Congress: Sanborn Fire Insurance Map of Spokane 1902I’d like to share with you some close-ups of some of the locations featured in the Spokane Clock Tower Mysteries thus far, with more to come as more books are added!
Aren’t these fascinating?!
Thanks to these maps, I’ve been able to accurately describe the 1894 city hall—which no longer exists—including the city police department, of which there are no photographs from 1901! The same goes for the Great Northern Railroad Depot, which was torn down in 1974!
Thank you, Library of Congress!
