The text also includes bits and pieces of native mythology, and other information. "Edith Van Allen Murphey (1879-1968) came to Mendocino County from New York via Berkeley in 1903. The young librarian-linguist homesteaded a wilderness plot at Sherwood where she befriended her Native neighbors. As a Covelo resident during the Great Depression, she acted in behalf of impoverished Native people in Round Valley. From 1925 to 1935 she lived with eleven tribes as the United State Indian Service's only range botanist. She spent the rest of her action-packed 89 1/2 years chronicling, collecting, advocating, & preserving Native American culture, from basketry to recipes. A self-taught ethno-botanist, Murphey compiled the Stockman's Pocketbook, A Manual of Poison Plants, and the book Indian Uses of Native Plants, published by the Mendocino County Historical Society, which is still in print. She died at home in Covelo. " (from Sojourn magazine Winter 1996-1997).
