Bartram’s Botanical Expedition through Southeast North America 

In 1765–1766, William Bartram, a British colonial botanist and ornithologist, accompanied his father on an expedition to the Carolinas, Georgia, and East Florida.  In 1773, he made a five-year trip to the same area, collecting plants and seeds and making drawings of insects, birds, plants, and reptiles.  This publication covers the results of his work during those trips.
