About The Coca Leaf Papers

If you think it might be fun to explore ancient histories and tales of Mama Coca by reading directly from fully digitized, searchable original sources, then you'll enjoy browsing these long-lost books on Coca, Coca Leaf and Cocaine that I've put together to create a unique resource. I've inserted hyperlinks into the bibliographies of each of these ancient books that take you with one click to dozens of other ancient books from the world of Coca through archive.org. You'll enjoy reading and listening in as early explorers marvel over their discovery of this powerful new natural medicine. You'll follow the long path walked by Angelo Mariani through the Bolivian Andes searching for the finest leaf, and then see how he went back to Europe and created "Vin Mariani", a chateau Bordeaux wine infused with Coca Leaf that took Victorian Europe and America by storm. You'll find chapters with detailed recipes for preparing Coca medicines, and first-person accounts of the healing power of simple Coca leaf tea. All of this is original source material - the author's own voice. (I do sneak in the occasional editor's note)You'll find descriptions of how Coca was grown hundreds of years ago in the Southern and Northern Andean cultures, and how it was grown in the massive Dutch Coca plantations of Java and in greenhouses in Paris. “Coca Leaf Papers” contains the following complete full-text, digitized, hyperlinked lost and forgotten books, with fully searchable hyperlinked bibliographies:”History of Coca”, Dr. Golden Mortimer, 1901“A New Form Of Nervous Disease: An Essay On Erythroxylon Coca”, Dr. William Searles, 1884 “Erythroxylon Coca: A Treatise On Brain Exhaustion”, Dr. William Tibbles, 1877“Coca Erythroxylon: Its Uses In Treatment of Disease”, Angelo Mariani 1885“Coca – Its Therapeutic Applications”, Angelo Mariani, 1890Plus a bonus appendix- the English translation of a groundbreaking inside story on Andean Coca“Drug W
