Great little resource book

This little book was a great find. It's a Dover reprint of a much earlier gem that might otherwise have been lost. It is pleasant to read and makes a great reference, as it is well researched and documented. Particularly useful if you are researching early plant uses, early gardening, and early folk medicine in the colonial U.S.

I really enjoyed this book. This has a lot of different herbs listed and I enjoyed reading how the people used them in the colonial times and modern day use. In my opinion this is a good book for anyone who wants to learn about herbs.
