In 1765 the father and son naturalists John and William Bartram
first explored the natural wonders of the St. Johns River Valley in
Florida. Traversing a landscape virtually unknown at the time, one
that was subtropical in many ways and then a British territory,
they collected plants and made extensive observations of local
animal life, geography, ecology, and native cultures of this
essentially uncharted region. The Bartrams chronicled their
adventures and, in doing so, helped provide the world with an
intimate look at La Florida. Travels on the St. Johns River
presents writings by these pioneering naturalists, including
selections from John Bartram's Diary, family correspondence, and
William's description of the St. Johns River Valley from his
celebrated Travels. It also provides valuable editorial notes and a
modern record of the flora and fauna they once encountered,
allowing readers to see the land through the explorers' eyes. This
volume helps us rediscover the Bartrams' history, their findings,
and their Florida-as well as the Florida of today.
