I got a few more books on Peanut's recommendations, my pile is growing.

I thought I would mention another, not sure how good it is. It has been 40 years since I read it last. I got my father's copy when I cleaned out my brother's house a month or so ago.
It don't cost anywhere near that amount LOL
 
Sam Coffman has written his second book. I've known Sam personally about 10 years. I attended his Wilderness Emergency medicine class once. With his help I treated a venomous snake bite several years ago.

Sam was a special forces medic in the 80's, was taught ditch medicine. Then became a great herbalist teaching practical, everyday medicine... from Mid-wife classes to Long range scouting and primitive skills... And herbal medicine.

I also have a copy of his first book, excellent (listed in the OP). I like Sam's style of teaching. I'm ex-military and can relate.

@angie_nrs @Bacpacker @Weedygarden This might interest you...

I ordered my copy this morning... Herbal Medic book, Signed copy

Got a new herb book today by Mrs. Levy, ‘The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog and Cat’.

It can be thought of as the companion to ‘The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable’. Which I’ve owned and used for many years, excellent for dealing with sick or injured livestock. (see OP)

Both were written in the early 50’s. After ww2 the medical needs of people in europe far out stripped resources. Veterinarian care for animals was almost nonexistent. The books were written for farmers and pet owners to take care of their animals with common plants and basic techniques in the aftermath of war.
