This reference book covering 122 plant species is the result of an 80-day walk across Kansas and eastern Colorado. A general discussion of the Prairie Bioregion precedes individual descriptions which include common, American Indian, and scientific names and what they mean. Also included are a formal description, discussion of food uses, and cultivation information. The food use information is gleaned from an extensive list of references, spiced with the author's own experience in preparing and eating these foods. This is the first book on edible plants of the region and should be a valuable reference for botanical, regional and North American Indian lore collections. Drawings not seen.
