Will watch when I get a spot of time for it.
Speaking of surviving in Appalachia, when I was in 7th grade we were given a book to read Where the Lilies Bloom. Not sure how accurate but if my foggy memory recalls there were quite a few references to food and herb gathering.
Thanks for the info, z3n. The book, and the movie. According to the synopsis on Wikipedia it does tell of the herbs gathered to help the local pharmacists.

Will explore and see what might develop.
As an aside, the book must have made a powerful impact on you. For the past several years, attempting to remember a book once read and have yet to find the title. Personal memory here is certainly not as sharp as yours. :-)
Thanks, again.
