Synopsis
A detailed look into what Bartram omits in Travels and why In Travels, the celebrated 1791 account of the "Old Southwest," William Bartram recorded the natural world he saw around him but, rather incredibly, omitted any reference to the epochal events of the American Revolution. Edward J. Cashin places Bartram in the context of his times and explains his conspicuous avoidance of people, places, and events embroiled in revolutionary fervor. Cashin suggests that while Bartram documented the natural world for plant collector John Fothergill, he wrote Travels for an entirely different audience. Convinced that Providence directed events for the betterment of mankind and that the Constitutional Convention would produce a political model for the rest of the world, Bartram offered Travels as a means of shaping the new country. Cashin illuminates the convictions that motivated Bartram--that if Americans lived in communion with nature, heeded the moral law, and treated the people of the interior with respect, then America would be blessed with greatness. In addition Cashin offers a detailed portrait of the often overlooked southern frontier on the eve of the Revolutionary War, revealing it to have been a coherent entity united by an uneasy coexistence of Native Americans and British colonials., In his germinal 1791 account ""Travels"", William Bartram recorded the natural world he saw around him but, rather incredibly, omitted any reference to events of the American Revolution.

- t***o (2474)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseFirst off thank you for working a deal out with me on the price. Delivered in good time, magazine was wrapped in plastic, similar to saran wrap, then covered with cardboard, all four sides taped off with eBay scotch tape, then placed in a bubble wrapped bag that was sealed, then placed in an USPS shipping bag. Magazine is in pretty close to mint shape, if it was in its original delivery bag from MR, I would have been convinced that no one had read it. Thanks so much for taking good care of this.
