"The wilds are full of food, and we've only recently stopped teaching each other to find it. Gibbons gives us back some of that know-how, with anecdotes that he delivers like a favorite uncle long familiar with both the woods and good living. He never leaves you high and dry asking yourself, 'well now that I've found it, what do I DO with it?' If society starts to come unglued, this book should be number one on your list."

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 made them into delicious dishes. His book includes recipes for vegetable and casserole dishes, breads, cakes, muffins and twenty different pies. He also shows how to make numerous jellies, jams, teas, and wines, and how to sweeten them with wild honey or homemade maple syrup.
