					<description><![CDATA[As harvest time grows near, all peoples who cultivate the land hope for good crops. Today&#8217;s technology can help farmers produce great quantities of food, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that older techniques were not as good&#8211;or better&#8211;on smaller scales. Native Americans were the New World&#8217;s farmers, and they were better at it than history generally [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Even in modern societies with their convenient grocery stores, many people continue to can or dry food from their gardens for winter use. Canning was not an option for native peoples, but they still needed to preserve food for times when game was scarce and/or vegetation was sparse. There were few universal preservation practices, but [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Early European observer, James Adair (who spent time among southeastern native peoples from 1700 to about 1735), wrote that native peoples ate little raw food beyond berries and fruits. As versatile as Europeans, they baked, boiled, fried, and roasted their food, using local ingredients to make extremely healthy dishes. Native peoples used stones as slabs [&#8230;]]]></description>

Settlers in the New World could not always do this, even though cookbooks had been around for several hundred years. One big problem?

					<description><![CDATA[One of the great tragedies for people judged insane was the ease with which they could be committed to institutions. During certain periods in some states, all it took was the word of family members or &#8220;respectable citizens&#8221; to commit people to asylums&#8211;a practice certain to be abused for personal gain, spite, or control.
