Abstract:
Son of the self-taught and well-connected eighteenth-century botanist John Bartram, William Bartram became a naturalist, specializing in the flora and fauna of the southern backcountry during the colonial and early national periods. Born in Philadelphia, Bartram benefited from his father’s professional and personal connections to European and American politicians, scientists, and wealthy citizens. Bartram’s talent for drawing led him to his life’s work after false starts in a number of professions, including time as a merchant and a disastrous stint as an indigo planter in Florida....

Abstract:
John and William Bartram were father and son adventurers, plant collectors, and natural historians who explored and described the natural assets of the St. Johns River valley and the Trader’s Path westward to the Suwannee River in north Florida. Their trips during the latter half of the 1700s corresponded to the period after Florida became a possession of England. They collected plants and made extensive observations on local animal life, geography, native cultures, and physical features of what was then an essentially uncharted region.

Abstract:
When John and William Bartram set off for Florida from their Philadelphia farm on a July day in 1765, a vast and largely unknown continent lay before them. Journeying in search of novel and unusual plants for their English patrons, the virgin territories of the southeastern United States provided fertile grounds for their biological explorations. These pioneering naturalists, father and son, lived at a time when new scientific discoveries literally lay around each corner. On this trip alone, they were able to collect or draw more than 200 species new to science. One species that slipped away from them was a “very curious” shrub they found growing along the banks of the Altamaha River in Georgia. Sporting beautiful white flowers accented by a central tuft of orange stamens, the shrubs unfortunately yielded no ripe seeds. Only on a return trip to Georgia some eight years later was son William able to collect seed and bring the species into cultivation—and to the attention of the scientific world. Given the name Franklinia alatamaha, in honor of Bartram’s close friend and fellow Quaker Benjamin Franklin, the shrub turned out to represent a completely new branch of the camellia family. Thanks to its beautiful flowers and foliage, Franklinia quickly became a popular ornamental, and even today it is widely cultivated in gardens. But Bartram’s horticultural introduction of this unique plant was fortuitous for another reason: The species has disappeared from its native habitat along the Altamaha River and was last seen in the wild in 1803. Sadly, Franklinia represents one of the first species known to vanish from the American landscape. While the American frontier formally closed in 1892, the biological discovery of America continues to this day. Not all discoveries are as spectacular as the “curious shrubs” the Bartrams had the good fortune to find, but each, in its own way, is just as important. The ongoing process of exploring our biological frontiers gradually fills in the fabric of our knowledge about the United States and its ecosystems. The knowledge generated by this basic inventory also serves as the backbone of our efforts to protect our nation’s biological diversity.

Abstract:
On July 5, 1803, Captain Meriwether Lewis of the First Infantry left Washington, D.C., and headed west. His destination was St. Louis, Missouri, where he was to take command, with his good friend William Clark, of the aptly named Corps of Discovery. President Thomas Jefferson had long dreamed of exploring the West, and on the day before Lewis set out from the capital, Jefferson doubled the size of the country, purchasing 820,000 square miles from France for 3 cents an acre. Jefferson planned the expedition partly to expand commerce in the young nation—he sought the “Northwest Passage,” a water route from coast to coast—but, just as important, to further scientific understanding. Lewis shared with his commander in chief a deep curiosity about the natural world, and the expedition set out with a presidential charge to discover the flora and fauna of the United States. Jefferson, as talented a scientist as has ever held the office of president, introduced Lewis to the leading natural scientists of the day, and they trained him to collect samples of plants and animals. Jefferson instructed the two commanders to record everything they could about the countryside—“the soil and face of the country, its growth and vegetable productions . . . the animals of the country . . . the remains and accounts of any which may be deemed rare or extinct,” he said. And so they did, plainly but accurately. Jefferson’s personal library, one of the largest collections in the country and later the nucleus of the Library of Congress, included copies of works by Linnaeus and John Bartram, along with many other scientific texts. Meriwether Lewis served as Jefferson’s private secretary for two years before leading the expedition west, and Jefferson undoubtedly introduced his protégé to those works. The Corps of Discovery, like the Bartrams and Peter Kalm, played an important role in the ongoing effort to document the natural heritage of the United States.
