Opis

Widely read and regularly reprinted since it was first published in 1791, William Bartram's Travels records his passage into the region of the United States known as the "Old Southwest" -- Georgia, East and West Florida, along with the area that became Mississippi and Alabama -- as well as the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Historian Cashin (affiliated with the Center for the Study of Georgia History at August State University) explores in detail the context of Bartram's life and work, and in so doing, presents a portrait of the southern frontier on the eve of the Revolutionary War.
