- 1 Want to read
"Widely read and regularly reprinted since it was first published in 1791, William Bartram's Travels records his remarkable passage into the region of the United States known as the "Old Southwest" - Georgia, East and West Florida, along with the area that became Mississippi and Alabama - as well as the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.
Generations of readers have marveled at the bravery of man who could paddle a canoe amid thrashing alligators, find beauty in the humblest of plants, and sketch them both.".
"In Travels Bartram recorded the natural world he saw all around him but, rather incredibly, omitted any reference to the epochal events of the American Revolution. In William Bartram and the American Revolution on the Southern Frontier, Edward J. Cashin places Bartram in the context of his times and explains his conspicuous avoidance of people, places, and events embroiled in revolutionary fervor."--BOOK JACKET.
