identify and state the use of the inner bark

Just to let you know for the future, you have to wait until you guess an ID right before being able to post your own.

Also for future reference, all duke.edu urls contain the first two letters of the tree's scientific name. In this case it has ulru, which corresponds to Ulmus rubra, so it would be good to convert it to an imgur before posting.

Btw, just curious, is it appropriate to use field guides when answering questions in this thread or is it knowledge-based only?

Well, I'm sure you can only go so far with identifying pines, for example XD

I sometimes have to use a field guide, and I always thought we could...

Slippery elm is correct, I was looking for a cough medicine or poultice, but yes it is also edible.
