The Ethno-Botany of the Coahuilla Indians of Southern California by David Prescott Barrows is a pioneering and elegantly detailed study of the intricate relationship between an Indigenous people and their natural environment. First published in 1900, this work remains one of the earliest and most comprehensive records of the Cahuilla (Coahuilla) Nation's traditional plant knowledge — a deep ethnographic account of how the desert and mountain flora of Southern California sustained not just physical life, but an entire cultural and spiritual worldview.-Google.
