I realize that this book is not nearly as famous as Stalking the Wild Asparagus, but that does not mean that it should be discounted! The prose is engaging and easy to read and although his opinions shine through on many occaissions, that is what helps to separate this book from many of the other guides to foraging which are available. Ultimately it is the meaning and intention behind the foraging which Gibbons highlights, rather than simply the herbs themselves and their identification. no reviews | add a review
Having written the enormously popular Stalking the Wild Asparagus and Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop, Euell Gibbons turned his attention to the wealth of herbs that grow wild throughout North America. Combining the skills he learned as a boy with Indian lore and his years of patient experimentation, he wrote this book that others might enjoy the benefits of our little-known natural heritage.Euell Gibbons shows the reader how to enjoy the culinary and medicinal virtues of herbs and wild plants. Drawn from the author's wide knowledge of plants as well as from the lore of Native Americans and early settlers, the information is supplemented by nutritionists at Pennsylvania State University who worked with Gibbons on analysis of the entries.
