Travels of William Bartram
by W. Bartram, Mark van Doren

Recaps the travels of the noted naturalist and his views on a wide range of subjects.
Travels Through North & South Carolina, Georgia, East & West Florida, : The Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulges, or Creek...
by W. Bartram, James Dickey

This is it. The only book ever written by William Bartram and originally published in 1791. The amazing thing about it is that the book holds together so well. His work is almost poetic as he describes the wonders of nature and the nature of man. Dickey's introduction, on the other hand, appears critical, almost as if this author/poet did not appreciate the beauty of Bartram's work
The Natures of John and William Bartram
by Thomas Slaughter

Interesting entry into the field because it shows the impact that William Bartram's father John had on the naturalist. He also delves into the differences of the men. We found it interesting and well worth reading for Bartram fans. Slaughter also examines the effect that both men had on Henry David Thoreau, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others.
