Edible Wild Plants of the Prairie, by Kelly Kindscher
The book is used to find edible plants growing wildly in the prairie (or, more specifically, the Great Plains region of North America), hence the title. As for the contents of the book, there are ≈100 entries, each given about 2-3 pages of description, making the book ≈300 pages long. For each entry, there are multiple sections:
• A black-and-white sketch of the plant and defining traits (leaves, flowers, etc.),
• A map with the general area of said plant,
• The plant's name (Common, Indian, Scientific),
• A paragraph of written description (what it looks like, what time of the year it grows, etc.),
• Its habitat,
• The parts used (general),
• The edible parts of the plant,
• and Cultivation (how to grow it)
Overall, the book serves its purpose of finding wild plants on the Great Plains. The only thing I would wish was that the sketches were colored instead of black-and-white. The written description usually does a good job of covering this.
This book pairs well with the book Medicinal Plants of the Prairie (written by the same author), which is a guide for finding medicinal plants on the Great Plains

Medicinal Wild Plants of the Prairie, by Kelly Kindscher
This book is used to find medicinal plants in the prairie (the Great Plains region of North America to be exact). This book has ≈100 entries, with 3-5 pages devoted to each, making the length of the book ≈350 pages long. For each entry, there are multiple parts:
• A black-and-white sketch of the plant and defining parts (leaves, flowers, etc.)
• A map with the general area of the plant
• The names for the plant (Common, Indian, Scientific)
• A worded description of the plant (what it looks like, what times of the year it grows, etc.)
• The plant's habitat
• The parts of the plant used
• The Indian use for the plant
• The Anglo Folk use for the plant
• The plant's medicinal history
• The plant's scientific research uses
• Cultivation of the plant (how to grow it)
The book does a good job of explaining the medicinal uses of plants on the Great Plains. The only thing I would wish the book had was colored pictures, but the written description usually does a good job describing its color.
This book pairs well with the book Edible Wild Plants of the Prairie (written by the same author), which is a guide for finding edible plants on the Great Plains.
