America's Curious Botanist : A Tercentennial Reappraisal of John Bartram (1699-1777), Memoirs, American Philosophical Society (vol. 249) (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society)

In May 1999, six Philadelphia institutions jointly sponsored a three-day symposium to mark Bartram's 300th birthday. Though the 12 essays in this resulting volume do not correspond precisely with the presentations there, they all consider his place in the scientific community of his day, his explorations around the colonies, and his legacy.
