Cookie is the cook Shea and Thomas hired from Doan's Crossing for their journey to Oregon.
Biography[]
He agreed to being the cook for the Texas-Oregon Caravan, but on some conditions. When Cookie asked how he would be able to return home, Thomas promised to load his wagon on a train back. Cookie named his price at $600, knowing when they cross into Kansas, game would be scarce. He is a no-nonsense cook with strict rules about meal time. He even snapped at Klaus for grabbing food for his plate and not getting in line to be served. Cookie is known to be an impatient man to the point where he swears out loud for people to hear him. He received the ire of Margaret Dutton after her young son, John, heard him swear and repeated that 'word' to her. When it came to severe weather or a threat of Indian attacks, he is known to disappear in order to get ahead of the threat. In Wyoming, after stumbling across a Lakota camp that was massacred by Henry Weaver and his dirty deputies, Cookie, disregarding Shea's orders to stay put, chose to drive his carriage to Fort Caspar instead of risking his own scalp, only to be swarmed and murdered by Lakota warriors.
