DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Galax Gatherers: The Gospel Among the Highlanders This is not a Novel, which its name might suggest, but the truth, which is sometimes "stranger than fiction." These are real people and places, and not figments of the imagination. The partiality of friends is largely responsible for the publication of these random notes, written while travelling and preaching through the mountains. They were not written for pleasure or profit, but for the Glory of God and the salvation of His long-neglected children in the Highlands. Both objects are worthy of a better advocate. Dr. Dabney said of these Highlanders, "They are the most distinctly American stock on the continent." And Dr. Talmage recently said, "The inhabitants of the mountains are the last of earth's children who shall yield their hearts to the conquering march of Christ." "Win the Highlanders for Christ and you win the world for Christ." No nobler object could engage our hand and heart. That you may share in this great work and its glorious reward is our humble prayer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The harvesting of wild American ginseng (panax quinquefolium), the gnarled, aromatic herb known for its therapeutic and healing properties, is deeply established in North America and has played an especially vital role in the southern and central Appalachian Mountains. Traded through a trans-Pacific network that connected the region to East Asian markets, ginseng was but one of several medicinal Appalachian plants that entered international webs of exchange. As the production of patent medicines and botanical pharmaceutical products escalated in the mid- to late-nineteenth century, southern Appalachia emerged as the United States' most prolific supplier of many species of medicinal plants. The region achieved this distinction because of its biodiversity and the persistence of certain common rights that guaranteed widespread access to the forested mountainsides, regardless of who owned the land. Following the Civil War, root digging and herb gathering became one of the most important ways landless families and small farmers earned income from the forest commons. This boom influenced class relations, gender roles, forest use, and outside perceptions of Appalachia, and began a widespread renegotiation of common rights that eventually curtailed access to ginseng and other plants. Based on extensive research into the business records of mountain entrepreneurs, country stores, and pharmaceutical companies, Ginseng Diggers: A History of Root and Herb Gathering in Appalachia is the first book to unearth the unique relationship between the Appalachian region and the global trade in medicinal plants. Historian Luke Manget expands our understanding of the gathering commons by exploring how and why Appalachia became the nation's premier purveyor of botanical drugs in the late-nineteenth century and how the trade influenced the way residents of the region interacted with each other and the forests around them.
