I believe it was printed at Colonial Williamsburg so you might check with their store and see if it's still available. It's an amazing little book!

Congratulations on a fantastic...Great post Elaine. <br />Congratulations on a fantastic and gripping book, I loved it.<br /><br />As a retired nurse I am always interesting in reading about herbals, natural remedies and medicinals used in long years past. I really enjoyed reading how Mary and her mother used them in your book Road to Deer Run.<br /><br />I found the herbal book pictured in your post (Amazon) but could not findMrs Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896114843568971108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-46869592755922605792015-12-09T11:30:03.025-05:002015-12-09T11:30:03.025-05:00Thanks for sharing, Elaine.

The problem I see today is the attitude that if it's "natural" it must be good. However, poisonous plants are "natural" and excessive doses of some herbs can destroy the liver. Best to study up before ingesting. :) Elaine Marie Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149168097740663299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-75924945256529732492015-12-09T08:22:15.746-05:002015-12-09T08:22:15.746-05:00Great post, Elaine.
