5.0 out of 5 stars EXCEPTIONAL CLASSIC !!!, December 26, 2005

By	E. Barrie Kavasch "Anthro & Poet" (Kent, CT) - See all my reviews

This new edition of NATIVE HARVESTS is the most robust treatment with an especially beautiful new cover! More photographs and drawings adorn this fine Dover edition. What a great classic! This book has educated a whole generation fo wilf foods foragers, and folks intrigued with Native American fare. This new edition holds more "gifts" of native quotes, spirituality, stories, and suggested menus. I am so grateful for this excellent new book, which takes its place among each of the previous versions in my collections. Each is well-used, well-read, and abundantly travelled!
