The Herbalist Almanac — 1927 Edition

Certified Artifact | Wild Island Heritage Collection Issued in 1927, this Herbalist Almanac stands among the earliest and rarest surviving examples from the golden age of American herbal publishing. Its rich ochre cover — adorned with illustrated woodland scenes and teepee silhouettes — evokes the romanticized imagery of Native herbal traditions that shaped early 20th-century apothecary culture. Within its pages are recipes of “Indian medicine men,” old-fashioned herbal remedies, lunar planting guides, and folk-weather predictions — a fascinating blend of folk science, practical herbalism, and mysticism. This particular printing bridges the pre-Depression optimism of the 1920s with the enduring appeal of nature-based health and spirituality. Featuring strong color retention, tight binding, and only minor age toning, this copy remains in remarkably well-preserved condition for nearly a century-old publication.
