Travels through North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulges or Creek Confederacy, and the Country of the Chactaws

Collecting seeds, taking specimens and making meticulous drawings and observations of previously unknown flora and fauna, Bartram's four-year expedition took him from the Appalachians, through Florida and on to the Mississippi. This account of his journey, first published in 1791, remains a classic of American science, history and literature.
