Autorenporträt

A.R. Harding was a well-regarded American author, entrepreneur, and publisher in the early 20th century. Specializing in outdoor skills, hunting, trapping, and the nascent field of American folk medicine and botany, Harding's work offers a glimpse into the practices and beliefs of rural communities with respect to natural remedies and the exploitation of natural resources. His seminal work, 'Ginseng and Other Medicinal Plants' (1908), reflects a comprehensive exposition of the subject, combining practical advice on the cultivation, harvesting, and marketing of ginseng and other medicinal herbs with rich anecdotes from Harding's personal experience and observations. Harding's literary style is characterized by a mix of anecdotal narratives, practical instruction, and informative content which made his books accessible and popular among a wide audience. He was the founder of A.R. Harding Publishing Company, which specialized in outdoor, nature, and adventure books, further cementing his role as an influential figure in these genres. He brought to the literary world an earnest respect for nature and its untapped potential, particularly in the Appalachians and other rural regions where such knowledge was vital for economic and personal well-being. His contributions have provided valuable historical insight into early American botanical practices and continue to be cited by enthusiasts of medicinal plants and natural remedies.
