(2) 4-6 William (1739–1823) and his father John ("His Majesty's Botanist for North America") traveled from Florida to the Catskills, identifying and describing hundreds of species. The narrative--fifteen fictional samples from William's journal--summarizes the accomplishments of both men. Ray's art includes atmospheric renderings of landscapes and precise maps and vignettes. This book is both an introduction to botany and a revealing window into the past. Bib.
