Secondary Sources

These are the secondary sources I use, so if the endnote citation is out-of-period, look here.  I will link to websites on the left, but I don't use websites for documentation very often. 

I've also included some of the the resources from my anthropology classes, on 
Gaelic, Norse and Anglo Saxon ethnomedicine as my academic focus was the healing culture that existed in Gaelic areas as influenced by Anglo and Viking settlement.
