Historical Note:
Captain Joe Scott of Texas, claims authorship of this recipe. According to his historical notes, this recipe was stolen from a famous Dutch oven cook named Jack Ware of Memphis, Tennessee at a cook-off, in Greyhawk Frontier Village near Cabot, Arkansas.  Ware told him that he had stolen the recipe from Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager and early mentor. Col. Parker was an avid camper and Dutch oven cook throughout the hills of Tennessee and Arkansas.  Parker claimed he got the recipe from a Mississippi River boat captain back in the early 1900's. It was probably stolen also.
