I was inspired to read this biography after reading a fictional portrayal of John and Billy Bartram in Matthew J. Kirby's historical American fantasy, The Lost Kingdom. I admire and envy William Bartram's gentle demeanor and exploration and discovery of the flora and fauna of colonial America. What a wondrous time for a naturalist! Deborah Kogan Ray lovingly portrays William's writings and art in her own words and illustrations. I am further inspired to read William's accounts of his journies in the southeastern United States in Travels and Other Writings, published in 1791. Summary: Using the journals of William Bartram, as well as maps and drawings, this book tells a brief history of Bartram and his explorations of nature in America. The book also lists some of the plants Bartram identified and described. A bibliography is also included for further study and help in the classroom, as well as a history of Bartram at the end.
