Abstract
In Britain, Culpeper is undoubtedly the household name for herbal medicine, but in the United States people do not immediately associate Culpeper with herbs, although the 1983 edition of Culpeper’s Colour Herbal is available everywhere in bookstores.1 What people there first think of probably is the town and county of Culpeper in Virginia, the reason being that some of Nicholas Culpeper’s relatives early on invested in the British Colony. Later, they became actively involved in the development and administration of the new land of the Crown.
