From Library Journal
Library of America takes a walk on the wild side with the latest installation to the series. Bartram was one of our nation's earliest nature writers, and his travels through the Southern American wilderness in the 1770s yielded a number of writings and illustrations of flora and fauna. This volume offers the first collection of his works and includes the largest number of his drawings-16 color and 32 black-and-white-ever assembled.
