In its time, it was considered the most significant work of
American natural history. Coleridge, Emerson, and Wordsworth were
fans, and drew from it for their own work. It is, in short, one of
the most important volumes of 18th-century nature and travel
writing. American botanist and naturalist WILLIAM BARTRAM
(1739-1823) embarked upon a solitary four-year journey, just prior
to the American Revolution, through what is now the Carolinas,
Georgia, and Florida, through Cherokee and Creek country, through
confrontations with bears and crocodiles, through country rough and
beautiful. In the classic work first published in 1791, he tells
with wondrous poetry and delicate insight the story of his travels
and of the people, plants, and animals he encountered. This replica
of the 1928 edition edited by Pulitzer Prize winner MARK VAN DOREN
(1894-1972) is complete with the original maps, diagrams, and
botanical and ethnographical illustrations. A beautiful work of
history and literature, it belongs in the library of anyone
interested in pre-Revolutionary America and its natural environs.
