Abstract:

William Bartram, son of the famous royal botanist John Bartram, left Philadelphia in 1773, on a four-year botanizing expedition across the Southeast. Part of his travels took him through seventy-four miles of western North Carolina. He is considered the father of American botany. Today his route is maintained by the NC Bartram Trail Society.
