Abstract:

William Bartram, son of the famous royal botanist, John Bartram, left Philadelphia in 1773 on a four-year botanizing expedition across the Southeast. The newly-opened, 81-mile Bartram Trail follows his path through the wilds of western North Carolina. Nickens describes his experiences hiking in Bartram's 200-year-old footsteps.
