This groundbreaking study of almost 400 pages discusses100 wild plants from the upper-Midwestern USA, carefully detailing their edible and medicinal uses. Each monograph lists the plant's descriptive features, habitat, chemical constituents, edibility, and medicinal uses, as well as cautions for use. The medicinal section is most extensive, showing how the plant has been used by various cultures throughout history, as well as by the author himself (a registered clinical herbalist and a naturalist). 
     This oversized softcover book includes over 150 color photos, appendices, a glossary, 1,000+ references, and a detailed index. Published by Minnesota Historical Society Press.
