I'm the old chronicles of the early
explorers and travellers through this
section of the country l find much
mention of the pawpaw, which seems
to have been as abundant in this re
gion century or more ago as at the
present time. In these early accounts
the estimates of the edibleness of the
pawpaw seem to be about equally d.

ripe pawpaws, the first he had seen,
