This is a new-in-paperback edition of a detailed look into what Bartram omits in his germinal book Travels and why. Cashin suggests that Bartram offered Travels as a means of shaping the new country and 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.Edward J. Cashin is the author of 'William Bartram and the American Revolution on the Southern Frontier', published 2007 under ISBN 9781570036859 and ISBN 1570036853.
