One of the volumes was full of interesting edible plants and things to find in the woods. We ate something called "polk-stalks" for weeks. A bit like celery, almost. We called them 'green Cheerios' because that's what they resembled when they were cut up. Polk-stalk salad. Polk-stalks with butter. Ugh :) I do remember enjoying the beech tree bark and teaberry leaves while out on my hikes, though! Definitely an interesting and enlightening set of books...I'll have to see if Mom still has them. Cool to know they still publish a magazine. My Mom had a set of these when I was little and we lived in the backwoods of WV.

I also have the Firefox Guide to Appalachian Cookery, and that one goes from cooking over fire to woodstoves and beyond. I adore it! Take care, and enjoy yourself.
