Re: foraging/wild food

I may be too old and the information may be out of date but my wildly
romantic fancies recall that Euell Theophilus Gibbons wrote much about wild
food foraging.  He wrote a book about two weeks that a group spent on an
island in Maine subsisting entirely on what they foraged.  He finished his
long and productive life in Sunbury PA.  "Stalking the Good Life" was all
about healthful, nutritious eating from nature.

But it was the 70's and like a lot of things that I vaguely recall from that
time, it's really only the colors that have stayed bright and vivid.  He was
a bright and vivid image in my college life.

His middle name actually means "Friend of God" and it is to whom the Gospel
of Luke is addressed.  More arcana from my world to yours.

Does anyone know of a book about foraging for wild food in the Eastern
United States? Can find some for the west, but not for the east. Thank you.
