Synopsis
Slavery was at the heart of the South's agrarian economy before and during the Civil War. Agriculture provided products essential to the war effort, from dietary rations to antimalarial drugs to raw materials for military uniforms and engineering. Drawing on a range of primary sources, this history examines the botany and ethnobotany of America's defining conflict. The author describes the diverse roles of cash crops, herbal medicine, subsistence agriculture and the diet and cookery of enslaved people.

    The book Kiss Clara For Me arrived in about 4-5 days like they said. The book was in a heavy cardboard container. Inside this cardboard container was wrapped in bubble wrap. Inside that the book was wrapped in a tissue paper. So Very Professional. With the care they gave to sending this book it arrived in a Beautiful condition. I would certainly buy from "Between the Covers-Rare books again. The Value of the book was very good for this rare find. Appearance was exactly like they described

    I've been a customer at For The Historian's bookstore in Gettysburg many times but this was my first eBay purchase from them. The magazine was brand new, as described, and the shipping cost was reasonable. They shipped the magazine promptly and it was very well packed in a cardboard sleeve. I'll definitely buy from this seller again.
