Andrew had been homeless and on his own for as long as he could remember. When circumstances led him, at the age of fifteen, to the recently orphaned Chlora Spainhour, he found in her a sister, best friend, and teacher. She taught him to read and write, and, more importantly, to see the value in himself. He was never hungry again. And as he grew to manhood, Chlora's love and support gave him the courage he needed to court the woman who would become his wife. But vague memories of a woman named Martha compelled Andrew to search for a past that remained hidden from him. Would he ever find the family he lost so long ago?

Luka was not a believer. He had always been skeptical of those biblical stories, including the supposed Forbidden Fruit tempting them under The Tree of Knowledge. But what was this hold Eve now had over him? Was it that? Was this the original sin? Or was it simpler than that? Was “the fobidden fruit” really just her delightful body? If so, Luka thought that Eve should have had a good lawyer. She had been framed. There was nothing sinful about it, Luka would argue. She was simply a natural wonder. To be fair, Luka’s Eve was not the average human female. She was amazing! Better yet, many of their friends were nearly as awesome. So it went in Flathead County, home of 314 named mountains. As Rusty had somehow managed to inscribe on the side of one of those peaks, “Montana. It’s Not For Wimps!”

The ability to provide your own food may be a lost skill in modern society, but it doesn’t have to be lost on you. Some folks believe we are nearing the days when this knowledge will once again become necessary for survival. Even if that doesn’t happen, most will agree that becoming food self-sufficient is one heck of a fun project. Be forewarned, however, that there’s more to food self-sufficiency than raising a few chickens and doing a little vegetable gardening – much more, in fact. Not to worry; we got you covered. Nicholas Hyde’s latest book will properly equip you to become a healthy and productive homesteader, one who melds with nature and delights in using all four seasons to their advantage. There is no reason you can’t always have meat, starch, and/or fresh produce of some type on your table, no matter how far off the grid you happen to live. To say nothing of your plentiful reserve supply of home-canned and dried foods. What about salt, sugar, vinegar, and oil? Have you ever thought about how and where you can naturally harvest those necessities? How will you make flour, bread, and pasta? Do you know which types of grains are best for mini-farming in your climate? How can you be certain you will have enough vitamin C and complex carbohydrates? We will cover all these issues, and many more. Soon you will be making your own hunting equipment, catching fish unattended, and snaring small game using cordage you made yourself from the fibers of common plants. Glance at the 25 chapter titles and decide for yourself if you can live without the information in this comprehensive, 32,000+ word survival guide. Recipe for Survival has been professionally edited and specially formatted for all devices, so we can promise a smooth and enjoyable electronic reading experience complete with a clickable table of contents.

The wild plants in this book tell stories of land, people, and food. As renowned botanist Kelly Kindscher guides us through over one hundred edible plants in this beautiful field guide, we find that foraging has always been an important part of prairie life. Before colonization, Native American women were the primary gatherers of wild plants, which were an abundant, sustainable, and delicious feature of Indigenous diets. Colonizers reduced the significance of wild plants in prairie life as they relocated Native peoples and imposed their agrarian culture on the land, but these Indigenous foodways were never truly lost. In the recent past, foraging has become a tremendously popular way for many peoples to connect with the earth, promote sustainability, and revive and honor cultural food traditions. In this beautifully illustrated new edition, Kindscher explores 117 wild plants of the prairie, offering information about habitat, food use, and cultivation. Color photos and maps make this stunning book a useful foraging guide for anyone to take out into the prairie. A must-have for enthusiasts and professionals alike, Edible Wild Plants of the Prairie gives us the great opportunity to engage with the land we live in.
