The 19th century had Henry David Thoreau, and the 20th century now has Doug Elliott. Never before has a naturalist followed in Thoreau's footsteps more closely. Complete with up-to-date historical and botanical profiles for practical, nutritional and medicinal uses, Elliott has compiled a reference book no modern self-proclaimed naturalist will want to be without.
