About this title: Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of "living off the land." He sought out wild plants all over North America and made them into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins and twenty different pies. He also shows how to make numerous jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.

"I read this a long, long time ago and it's about foraging for edible foods. I have recently done a little foraging myself (I made a sauce out of wild grape from my back yard) and I want to do more. I'll have to pick it up again for inspiration and reference.
*I'll add more when I actually get around to rereading it."
