Scholarly & readable account. 1st rate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Southern Folk Medicine (Hardcover)
Ms. Moss' knowledge and enthusiasm for the subject is apparent throughout this work. As a total lay person, I found it an enjoyable read. Her scholarship is unique in that she has relied solely on Southern manuscript sources, thereby, confining her work to only those cures and remedies having a documented history in the colonial and ante-bellum south. She has accompanied the remedies with a history of the medical theories prevalent at the time along with anecdotes and appendices that both amuse and inform. A most needed addition to the history of folk medicine. |
