Eliza Leslie, known popularly as "Miss Leslie" for her many books on cooking and etiquette, died in Gloucester, New Jersey at the age of seventy. For more than twenty-five years, she had been providing American women with a stream of books and recipes, many of which in a mild manner incorporated Native American and West Indian influences.
