About this ebook
Presenting the exciting accounts of American botanist, ornithologist, and explorer William Bartram's pioneering survey of the American south. Around the time the American colonies were forcibly dismissing the political bands that connected them to England, Bartram was exploring the wilds of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida searching for undiscovered plants and birds. As a result, he combined scientific discoveries with incredibly vivid descriptions of nature and delivered a work that would delight both scientists and poets. These chronicles of his four-year journey to the southern British colonies in America are influential as a scientific work, a historical reference regarding American Indians and the American South, and a contribution to American literature.
