Native American genealogy research from the Piedmont of NC & VA
Kamama,
I have several books that have good illustrations and descriptions. If you have access to someone who knows, the best thing is to go into the woods with a knowledgable person and let them show you. Pictures are really no substitute for actually seeing the plants “in person” and “up close and personal”. I just bought a new book called “Wild Flowers of Tennessee, the Ohio Valley, and Southern Appalachians” published by Lone Pine, compiled by Dennis Horn and Tavia Cathcart. It has excellent pictures/photos and lists the medicinal uses. I bought it while in Gatlinburg two weeks ago. We we’re going back in two more weeks if you want me to pick you one up if you can’ find it elsewhere. Of course it would only be applicable if you live in these areas. I’m in the Ohio Valley near Louisville, KY in Indiana. Are you coming to the get together? I could bring it with me when my daughter and myself are there if you’ll be there. I’ll look up some other titles that I think are good but still, the best knowledge is first hand from someone that knows. Hope this helps. Talk soon.
Sincerely,
Jim
