Here it is, the final word about the most sought-after wild fruit of the mountain west, the tangy berry that makes its domestic cousin, the blueberry, seem like bland stuff. As shy as it is succulent, the huckleberry does not happily yield to generalizations about where to find it. And little evidence makes it home from berry-picking trips to validate the purple-fingered picker's claims about the berries that didn't get away. So it is that a lore of huckleberries flourishes that rival mountain stories about grizzly bears and camp cooking. This book examines the lore and the fact of the huckleberry of the West. Full attention is given to defining types, picking and preserving, proper manners in a huckleberry patch (after all, huckleberries are one of the favorite foods of bears)—all done with charming humor and sheer joy of discovery at the delights of finding, picking and eating the berry and enjoying its mountain domain. Lovingly illustrated and generously supplied with recipes collected from across the mountain country this is the one source you'll treasure for huckleberry knowledge and fun.
