The Annotated Hasheesh Eater - Paperback

by David M. Gross (Editor), Fitz Hugh Ludlow (Author)

"I recommend The Annotated Hasheesh Eater, edited by David Gross. [Fitz Hugh] Ludlow is outrageously erudite, sprinkling his drug tale with references to Hindu mythology, ancient Chinese folk medicine, and tenth-century Welsh royalty. Gross turns what could be maddening into a pleasure by providing helpful notations that explain the arcana."―Justin Martin, "Rebel Souls: Walt Whitman and America's First Bohemians" (2014)
