The book is divided into three main sections: an introduction to the Gosiute people and their culture, a detailed analysis of the plants used by the tribe for food, medicine, and other purposes, and a discussion of the methods used by the Gosiute to gather and prepare these plants.Chamberlin's work is based on extensive field research conducted among the Gosiute people, and he provides detailed descriptions of the plants used by the tribe, including their physical characteristics, medicinal properties, and cultural significance. The book also includes numerous illustrations and photographs of the plants and their uses, as well as maps and diagrams of the Gosiute territory and plant gathering areas.In addition to its value as a scientific study of traditional plant use among the Gosiute, The Ethno-Botany of the Gosiute Indians of Utah is also an important historical document, providing insights into the culture and way of life of a people who were rapidly being displaced by European settlement and the expansion of the United States. As such, it is an invaluable resource for scholars of Native American history, anthropology, and botany, as well as anyone interested in the traditional uses of plants for food, medicine, and other purposes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
