Stalking the Healthful Herbs


Book Description

Having written the enormously popular Stalking the Wild Asparagus and Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop, Euell Gibbons turned his attention to the wealth of herbs that grow wild throughout North America. Combining the skills he learned as a boy with Indian lore and his years of patient experimentation, he wrote this book that others might enjoy the benefits of our little-known natural heritage. Euell Gibbons shows the reader how to enjoy the culinary and medicinal virtues of herbs and wild plants. Drawn from the author’s wide knowledge of plants as well as from the lore of Native Americans and early settlers, the information is supplemented by nutritionists at Pennsylvania State University who worked with Gibbons on analysis of the entries.

Got Your Back...


Book Description

In creation of Cook Books for Borscht & Beyond, Book O'Beans, to be followed by Much Muffins, and finally the Novels I started to write, I got side tracked by the wonderful world outside. It brought to mind a time when my young son and I would make up stories about our surroundings for our amusement to pass idle hours away. In this process we were known to give a humanistic life to all manner of things, from vehicles to animals. Upon witnessing the opening event of Casey rescuing Sidney, I was back in time recalling the joy of the story creation, my imagination would add a phase every time I looked out and saw another happening. I decided this would be fun to share with children and their parents and perhaps open their minds to the wonders readily surrounding them. Life is always fascinating if you give it a chance, not always high tech. It is a privilege to have friends that will help you in your times of concern. So the creation of "Got Your Back!" is about caring and sharing, the best things one can do. The characters are fictitious, the lives are very real. Happy Reading, May your minds run free to creation.
