A fascinating account of herbal medicine springing from the accumulated knowledge and activities of A.L. "Tommie" Bass, an elderly herbalist in the southern Appalachians. Crellin (medical history, Memorial U. of Newfoundland) and Philpott (botany emeritus, Duke U.) expand the account to construct a broad historical analysis of self-care practices and herbal medicine in the broader Anglo-Saxon tradition.
