If the coffee were roasted before the drive it would oxidize and go bad over the course of the trip. Traveling with green coffee beans meant that the beans could be roasted right before use. Arbuckle's Ariosa Coffee was the first brand to find a way to keep pre-roasted coffee beans fresh, which was why it became a favorite of cowboys and chuckwagon cooks alike. There's a short history of the subject on my blog:<br /><br />http://cyclingthroughhistory.blogspot.com/2012/07/bonus-post-arbuckles-ariosa-coffee-that.html Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578067022011050698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964675941678680587.post-5676575296641479352012-08-23T12:15:39.806-07:002012-08-23T12:15:39.806-07:00Yes, medicinal, of course!
Rob, I don't know ...Yes, medicinal, of course!<br /><br />Rob, I don't know if he patented that invention, but what a good question! I have a feeling he had no idea it would become such a popular and important piece of cattle drive equipment. I do know that he could not read or write and his wife took care of his legal matters, as well as all correspondence. It would be interesting to find out if she filed a patent.

I wrote about it in a few earlier posts. I have no doubt that many cooks spiced it up with chilies, particularly since the cattle drives were coming up from the South. <br /><br />I have not written an article about the camels, but camels were, indeed, used by the military on an experimental basis. They proved to be less reliable than horses. They handled the heat better than horses in Texas, but they are stubborn animals and it seems some of the soldiers grew tired of being spit on by the camels! When I finish this segment about cattle drives (I have a few more on Charles Goodnight, Oliver Loving, and cattle drives) I would like to talk about the military and will discuss the camels then. Thank you so much for reading my post!Darla Sue Dollmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295727215740074345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964675941678680587.post-17629238948826306172012-08-23T07:42:29.630-07:002012-08-23T07:42:29.630-07:00Good stuff!

I don't know if true or not.<br /> One question...not on this subject...Have you done an article on the camels (I think feral camels) that were brought in at Camp Verde? My brother and I have a little wager about this subject? Thanks, JoeShane Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549069450734380011noreply@blogger.com
