As General Washington and his troops fought bravely throughout the Hudson Valley, they relied on the local flora to provide the foods and medicines needed to continue their military campaign. The first Materia Medica of North America (a list of the medicinal properties of each plant) was commissioned by General Washington’s order so his field generals could safely carry on their war effort.
