The Botanist and Her Muleskinner Book

After studying botany under Albert Sweetser, Lilla transitioned from academia to high school instruction. John Leach, recognizing her botanical pursuits, won her over by promising access to unexplored regions. Together, they amassed over 1,000 miles traversing Oregon's wildlands, with Lilla's most notable discovery being a previously undocumented pink-flowered shrub in 1930. Their Portland residence now serves as a public botanical garden, a testament to their enduring passion for flora. This book expands on their story and the section of their lives.

An excellent copy, this edition shows no signs of foxing or fading from exposure.
