Jacques Cayouette has a new book out — again dealing with Canada’s “curious stories” of how our people and plants are linked through history, but a step forward in time from Volume One.
The second volume of Curieuses histoires de plantes du Canada, 1670-1760 (in French) again unites Cayouette, an Agriculture Canada scientist, and two other authorities, Alain Asselin and Jacques Mathieu.
This time they’re broaching the latter years of New France, and for botanists and historians it’s a fascinating trip through the foods, herbs, and poisonous plants that our ancestors knew well.
Who knew, for example, that the French Jesuits travelled between New France and China and compared the ginseng found in each country?
Cayouette will participate in book-signing sessions Friday evening and Saturday afternoon at the Salon du Livre de l’Outaouais, a major annual book event at the Palais des Congrès in Gatineau.
Volume One, incidentally, was shortlisted for the 2015 Governor General of Canada Literary Award.
