October 17, 1804 in the British Territory is where i found the Indian Breadroot. This is plant was very unique because the edible root, which measures one and a half to two inches in length, resembles a dahlia tuber. It has a high starch and sugar content. Historically, Indian breadroots were harvested in late summer and eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or dried in the sun. The dried roots were generally ground between stones for flour to mix with soups and stews. We will fortunatley use this plant for our foods now, which is very useful. I have taken a description of course and here it is.
Description: Purplish blue flowers and palm-shaped leaves. The entire plant is covered with dense light-colored hairs. That habitat of this plant is also Prairies.
This is a wonderful and, useful discovery i cannot wait until i have this tonight in the stew we are having.

Michael, you made wonderful discoveries this past week. Could you please change the font color so I can understand your first two discoveries better. I couldn't read all of them. I like your descriptions, but sometimes they seem a bit confusing with the big language. I would like to hear them more in your own words. Maybe they are in your own words, so maybe I should ask you just to simplify the wording. Thanks for your dedicated work this week. President Jefferson is going to love your discoveries.
