I have been researching the history of gardening in America and have not found a better rescource than Ann Leighton's books, specifically Early American Gardens: For Meate or Medicine. This book is full of good factsand is very readable. Covering the colonization of North America from itsearliest years, this book goes into detail on primary sources as well asrecent scholarly efforts. This book will be useful for anyone interrestedin gardening (especially if making an historic garden on your own property)or in history (especially if you are bored reading about politicalhistory).Click Here to see more reviews about: Early American Gardens: "For Meate or Medicine" (Paperback)
