Ethnobotany of Montana

Excellent 1996 re-issue of Jeff Hart's 1976 work published by the Montana Historical Society, with over 60 plants (from trees to lichens) used by Montana's Indian tribes for food, medicine, shelter, and crafts. Well-illustrated; essential for those interested in Montana history and the great outdoors. Many of these plants are becoming harder and harder to find with the boom in Montana's development, and conservation efforts need to focus more on the preservation of these often overlooked ethnobotanical treasures of the Treasure State.
