Su questo libro

L'autore:

Artist, writer, botanist, gardener, naturalist, intrepid wilderness explorer, and self-styled “philosophical pilgrim,” William Bartram was an extraordinary figure in eighteenth-century American life. The first American to devote himself to what we would now call the environment, Bartram was the most significant American writer before Thoreau and a nature artist who rivals Audubon. He was also a pioneering ethnographer whose works are a crucial source for the study of the Indian cultures of southeastern America.

Thomas Slaughter, volume editor, is a professor of history at Notre Dame University. He is the author of The Whiskey Rebellion and The Natures of John and William Bartram.
