John and William Bartram pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Taking a close look at the lives and adventures of two of America's first botanists, this account chronicles the lives of the father-and-son team composed of John and William Bartram. It relates John's role as a peer of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, among others, and the visits that these men paid to him at his botanical garden near Philadelphia and discusses his travels in pursuit of plants that took him from Canada to Florida. Throughout his journeys, John's son, William, would accompany him, but this book also distinguishes how William set off on his own adventures, as he was more of an artist and a writer while his father was more of a scientist. This fascinating history is perfect for botanical and historical societies, garden clubs, and anyone interested in American history, botany, adventure, art, and science.
