Book Description
William Bartram's journeys around North America in the late 18th century crossed through much of what was then Native American territory. In the 1790s when this book was first published, the United States was newly formed and was expanding beyond its original thirteen colonies. However, American settlement into the distant lands beyond the Appalachians was limited and gradual. The vast expanse of land was unknown, and much was inhabited by Native American tribes. Determined to traverse and discover the lands of North America, William Bartram set out from the city of Philadelphia, making his way toward the south of the continent. Along his way he describes the wilderness terrain, rivers, landscape and peoples he meets. Many of the Native American tribes he encountered were welcoming, viewing Bartram as a strange curiosity. He would join the natives to eat at feasts, observing their lives and customs, learning their dialects and eventually gaining their trust and friendship.

Book Description
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chronicles of his four-year journey to the southern British colonies in America are influential as a scientific work, a historical reference regarding American Indians and the American South, and a contribution to American literature.
