American Apocalypse: What is the best wild food gathering book?

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous 2 our liberties than standing armies. If the American ppl ever allow private banks 2 control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks & corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the ppl of all property till their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should b taken from the banks & restored 2 the ppl, 2 whom it prprly belongs."
- T. Jefferson

That's kinda a tough one.. mainly because it is a regional thing.. and also because there are off the beaten path plants that *can* be eaten, but may not be something you'd want to eat. Also.. mushrooms tend to be separate for good reason.

So there isn't just 1 that covers it all.

Here is a link you may find helpful as it does as well cover some lesser known edibles.. still it comes down to your ability to identify and know how to use what.
