Exploration of the "New World" meant more than finding new places to live and the possibility of gold. Discovering and naming the flora of North America, and finding their uses for food, building materials, and medicines, was a critical part of the explorer's mission. This book beautifully showcases the botanical discoveries made from the time of Columbus to the end of the American frontier. 120 illustrations, 60 in full color.
