Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants - 1974

"Few of the American and Canadian Indians had Gardens when Columbus rediscovered the New World, instead regularly supplementing their meat and fish with wild fruits, nuts, roots, tubers, greens, seeds, beverages, and the like which they gathered free from the land. We can have the satisfaction of doing the same thing today, for these edible wild plants still grow everywhere. You needn’t to be any kind of expert, even in this day of space travel and split atoms, to begin eating what remains unspoiled and free. If you will positively identify everything before you gather it - made easy at long last by this field guide with its detailed descriptions and its illustrations in full color - you will never have any trouble..."
