Native American Prairie Herbs

Native Americans across the country, over thousands of years, developed uses for native plants, this of course does not exclude the part of the country we call home today, Southeast Wisconsin. While much of the once invaluable information has been lost to time, some of the knowledge persists and has been recorded for today's society. This publication gives a comprehensive list of plant species that were once commonly used and what those uses were. However, not all plants were useful, some were harmful or poisonous, and a list of poisonous genera is provided as well. Truly a fascinating look into often forgotten uses of native plants.
