The importance of one simple plant
In Prehistory, contact, and the Lost Colony, page 2.10
In Colonial North Carolina, page 6.1

And it came to be one of their most important foods. Maize, in some form, made up roughly 65 percent of the native diet. When European settlers reached the New World, they learned to cultivate Indian corn from their native neighbors.
