Title: Looking for a book
Post by: WimB on January 18, 2011, 06:21:07 PM: I'm looking for this book: Cherokee Plants and Their Uses -- A 400 Year History written by Hamel, Paul B. and Mary U. Chiltoskey in 1975.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy it?

Don't think I have enough feathers for my warbonnet to go completely native, David ;)

I'm looking for some "medicinal" info on american (rock garden) plants to write an article.
