4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful as ethnobotany, December 10, 2000
By Lynn B Flewelling (East Aurora, New York United States) - See all my reviews
I was drawn to this book because I recognized so many familiar plants from my childhood among the drawings. I never suspected that the humble jewel weed or stinking Benjamins had ever had any medicinal uses. It's a very entertaining and enlightening read.

The title is somewhat misleading. I would caution anyone against using this as a serious herbal medicine text. The entries are of historical rather than medical significance, but that does lessen its wide ranging appeal. Use it to extend your knowledge and enrich your walks in the woods of the north east.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful historical accounts, May 15, 2009
I love this book! Not only does it provide a great historical compilation of how Native Americans (and early settlers) used these plants... but it has become a handy "field guide" for me because of the great illustrations and grouping by growing conditions. Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in how Native Americans used these plants. Fascinating read. (The only thing I would like to see in the book would be even more plants. For some reason, I don't believe basics like ginseng or goldenseal were listed. It does contain a plethora of information on hundreds of other plants, however.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good., November 26, 2000
By A Customer
This book really interested me. It is good for anyone with a sudden burst of interest in Native Ameerican herbs. There are plenty of other books out there as well, but this was one of my favorites.
