Stalking the Healthful Herbs (Field Guide Edition)

David McKay

Euell Gibbons, world famous as a forager of wild foods and herbs, and an expert in their uses in the field or home kitchen, has always been concerned with preserving man's environment. For some years he has written a column on related topics for Organic Gardening Magazine. That material is the genesis of this, his sixth, book. The articles are merely the basis for the book, which has been extensively developed, with much fresh and timely thinking, and new material from him on the good life. To him, the good life is sharing and enjoying nature, and maintaining an environment where natural things can flourish unhampered by man's carelessness or indifference to the bounty and privilege nature offers all of us. 
In the book he explores the pleasures of camping out without polluting or plundering, and recreates many memorable journeys into the wilds. 
He tells of living off the land and preparing the products therefrom with skill and imagination. And he offers an abundance of specific solutions to ecological problems that individuals and groups anywhere across this land can readily adopt to bring about an immediate improvement in the quality of life around them. 
At a time when most men are crying doom, this book breaks through as a brilliant celebration of life and a reaffirmation of Gibbons's belief that we truly can redirect our destinies through the brotherhood of man and of man and nature. 
Euell Gibbons lives with his artist wife, Freda, in Beavertown, Pennsylvania. He is the author of Stalking the Wild Asparagus, Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop, and Stalking the Healthful Herbs, among other books.

Stalking the Good Life

McKay

From dust jacket notes: "Since his most recent book appeared two years ago, Euel Gibbons, America's favorite nature writer, has been crisscrossing the North American continent, searching out new places and ways to live off the land, and new wild foods to prepare. Here, now, in one warm, wonderful volume, is his glowing account of those two years. He takes us rafting on Mexico's Sea of Cortez; searching for the foods used by ancient Indians in the mesa country of the western U.S.; surviving adventurously, Robinson Crusoe-style, on a tiny windswept island off the coast of Maine; and on to Canada to hear the sound of flowers blooming on a still night. Gibbons also offers more of 'his typically optimistic observations on the ecological situation - the Chesapeake Bay won't die, folks, because he says so. And he warns against "shotgun medicines" (beware ampicillin - it "eradicated the lactobacilli that reside in my intestinal tract"), discourses on the snail ("are humans really smart as snails?"), composes a poem to the queen bee,'* and shares his thoughts about the need to preserve the quality of life around us. Among the states Euell Gibbons explores in this book are Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah, with forays into Mexico and Canada for further natural wonders and wild edibles." *Kirkus Reviews

Stalking the Faraway Places

Fifty years ago an unknown writer named Euell Gibbons (1911-1975) presented a book on gathering wild foods to the New York publisher David McKay Co. Together they settled on the title, Stalking the Wild Asparagus. No one expected that this iconic title would become part of the American language, nor did they anticipate the revival of interest in natural food and in environmental preservation in which this book played a major role. Euell Gibbons became an unlikely celebrity and made many television appearances. Stalking the Wild Asparagus has sold the better part of half a million copies since the original publication and has been continuously in print since 1962. Euell Gibbons was one of the few people in this country to devote a considerable part of his life to the adventure of living off the land. He sought out wild plants all over North America and turned ordinary fruits and vegetable into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins and twenty different pies. Plus jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.

Product Description 
This foraging and cooking classic was first published in 1964 and has continued to be one of America’s most appreciated works on the subject of seafood. As a young man, Euell Gibbons kept his family alive during the Dust Bowl era by gathering wild foods. In later years he foraged for seafood all over the coastlines of North America and even Hawaii. He drew on his extensive experience and research to write his “Stalking” series, books which have entered the American lexicon and which remain the starting point for serious foragers. Euell Gibbons tells how to find marvelous food in every coastal area of North America.This book contains numerous drawings for identification and hundreds of recipes and cooking tips from chowders and clambakes to simple epicurean treats such as boiled periwinkles dipped in melted butter. 
 Review 
Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop 
 is a cookbook, nature guide, and remembrance that pulls you in like a riptide. It is particularly illuminating about all the fine seafood we can gather on our shores, with beautiful descriptions of their habitats and behavior, and not least, recipes for some of the most unique and savory dishes you will ever enjoy. -- Shirley King, author of Fish: The Basics\nGibbons is one of America’s most original writers about nature and food, and I’ve followed his advice about the gathering of periwinkles, edible seaweed and such and cooked a la Gibbons with delicious results. This book is the best antidote to mechanized modern life. I can’t think of any other that has given me as much pleasure each time I’ve picked it up. -- Nika Hazelton, The New York Times Book Review\nA practical guide to the edibles that about in and around tidal areas, and these are more numerous than the average man dreams of. It is conceivable that, equipped with the book, an adventurous spirit might live for endless time with a minimum expenditure of money for food other than sugar, salt, flour, and other pantry staples. -- Craig Claiborne, The New York Times
