The Botanical Lore of the California Indians
John Bruno Romero
Each remedy here keeps its native name: Man-ta-ca, Vaah-se-le-coo, Esq-urana-quat, recorded beside the Latin. Romero set down the plant knowledge of California's Indian peoples, remedy by remedy, for stomach disorders, dysentery, wounds, and more. It is a small volume carrying a large inheritance, gathered before much of it could vanish. Ethnobotany with the voices still audible.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
