Abstract

"John Bartram (1699-1777), a Quaker, Pennsylvania farmer, and father of William, trained himself scientifically at a young age. John maintained an extensive correspondence with leading minds of the Enlightenment on both sides of the Atlantic. A life’s work in natural history earned Bartram an annual stipend of fifty pounds by King George III in 1765, and with that income, the elder Bartram and son William explored East Florida’s St. Johns River."
