William Bartram and the American Revolution on the Southern Frontier. By Edward J. Cashin. (Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 2000. Pp. xvi, 319. $39.95.)
|
William Bartram, Quaker naturalist
and writer of the late colonial and early Federal era, has never
been more popular, to judge from the number of recently published
books about him and his works. These include a reissue of Francis
Harper's "Naturalist's Edition" of Bartram's Travels (Athens,
Ga., 1998); Thomas P. Slaughter's idiosyncratic biography, The
Natures of John and William Bartram (New York, 1996), and his
Library of America compilation, Bartram: Travels and Other Writings
(New York, 1996); William Bartram on the Southeastern Indians,
edited by this reviewer with Kathryn E. Holland Braund (Lincoln,
1995); and now a volume exploring the political environment of the
southern colonies through which Bartram traveled between 1773 and
1776.
