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 eighty-one miles of western North Carolina. Today a hiking trail marks his journey's path. Nickens retraces the naturalist's steps and records his observations.
