Book excerpt: Over three centuries ago, Father Kino came from the Old World to the New World, and brought with him ideas that were new to both worlds. He brought a vision for a better world to the region that was known in his time as the Pimería Alta. There his tireless efforts to have this vision become reality left an indelible mark. This land that Kino spent the last (almost) quarter century of his life in now spans international borders, and his legacy reaches far beyond those borders, spanning both space and time. The missions he founded welcomed the "heathen" herbs of the natives, and this the herb lore of the natives has been preserved to modern times.
