A useful, eye-opening primer on the use of herbs during the Civil War, particularly in the Confederacy where blockades of ports and railways necessitated using locally available plants for a myriad of purposes.

This book is a description of plant-derived medicines used during the American Civil War, as well as a discussion of the home use of plants for food and pharmacy. The author uses primary sources such as letters and diaries to reveal some of the inconveniences and hardships the War brought to both sides, and some of the clever solutions developed by Southerners for coffee, tea, wheat flour, and many other items. Source-cited quotations help readers to empathize with a beleaguered populace.
