Subtitle : A History of Useful Plants 1620-1900 ISBN : 0-88192-652-3 Publisher : Timber Press Number of pages : 396 Many pictures Many drawings Year of publication : 2004 Binding : Hardcover In this fascinating book, the author rescues from the pages of history the practical experience and botaical wisdom of generations of Americans. Crossing the disciplines of history, ethnobotany and horticulture and with a flair for the historical anecdote, Sumner underlines a part of the American story often ignored or forgotten: how European settlers and their descendants made use of the "strange" new plants they found, as well as the varieties of foods and medicines they brought with them.
