Kirk,
I read this quickly and thought you'd written that ETG had written a book "about two weeks ago." Hmmm, I thought; neat trick! 
Merry Christmas to you & all your alter egos.

I may be too old and the information may be out of date but my wildly
omantic fancies recall that Euell Theophilus Gibbons wrote much about wild
ood foraging.  He wrote a book about two weeks that a group spent on an
sland in Maine subsisting entirely on what they foraged.  He finished his
ong and productive life in Sunbury PA.  "Stalking the Good Life" was all
bout healthful, nutritious eating from nature.
But it was the 70's and like a lot of things that I vaguely recall from that
ime, it's really only the colors that have stayed bright and vivid.  He was
 bright and vivid image in my college life.
His middle name actually means "Friend of God" and it is to whom the Gospel
f Luke is addressed.  More arcana from my world to yours.

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