(cgc). Howes B-220. Sabin 3870. Pilling, Iroquoian, p10. de Renne I, p250n. ~ William Bartram was a renowned naturalist and son of John Bartram, the noted botanist. His father's good friend, Peter Collinson, the English naturalist, thought William's sketches and drawings to be "elegant performances" and showed them to Dr. John Fothergill, a botanist and like William, a Quaker, who extended his patronage to the young Bartram. At Fothergill's expense Bartram spent the years 1773-1777 exploring the southeastern part of America; although he was meant to send back to Fothergill drawings, journals, seeds, specimens, etc., many of his writings and gatherings never reached England because of the war, and Bartram finally made his way back to Philadelphia in January of I 778. This work, describing the natives of the region, the plants, seeds, products, and animals, was enormously successful, and was considered "a work of high character well meriting its wide esteem." (Howes).
