Hunting For Green Treasure
During the depression, hordes of people would comb the woods and byways for this elusive green treasure. It became a very important staple in the meager meals of the poor. Later, through scientific discoveries and researching the history of the plant, it was found to have very valuable properties which today holds a promise for one of the worlds most dreaded diseases, AIDS.
