Pamphlet, Narrative Of A Shipwreck, Sarah Allen, Keith Lewis Simmons

Early Visions Bucket

"The Narrative of a Shipwreck, by Sarah Allen, appeared as a pamphlet in two successive Boston editions (1816, 1817). New England readers at the time indeed must have valued this story told, ostensibly, in a female voice, set along the exotic and contentious frontier, and portraying the hardships of a shipwreck along the remote Florida coast, as well as a satisfying and miraculously happy ending."

Atala, François Auguste René De Chateaubriand, Keith Lewis Simmons, Kline Dec 1800

Atala, François Auguste René De Chateaubriand, Keith Lewis Simmons, Kline

Early Visions Bucket

"Atala was a milestone in French romanticism, the origin of a globally successful, enduring romantic male archetype. Along with its twin, Rene, this once-famous novella is set in the American Southeast and is part of a longer, semi-autobiographical epic called Les Natchez. Chateaubriand had never visited the United States, but read some early accounts, and the region in which the events take place, mostly northern Florida, is a fantastic projection of exotic ideals."

Early Visions Bucket

"Commissioned by the London physician John Fothergill to survey the land and catalog the flora and fauna, Bartram rambled through the southeastern colonies of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama from 1774-1777. He filled the pages of journals with notes about the landscape, encounters with its inhabitants, and his reflections on what moved him most. He sketched quirky birds and sinuous plants. The result of his journals and letters was a book known as Travels, published in 1791, and circulated widely in the US and Europe."

Excerpt, Travels In Georgia And Florida, 1773-74: A Report To Dr. John Fothergill, William Bartram, Devin Pallone, Rebecca Givens, Erin Pollack, Rebecca Decenzo

Early Visions Bucket

"The 'Report to Dr. John Fothergill,' by William Bartram (1739-1823), recounts the naturalist’s adventure through the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, which he related back to his London patron. Fothergill funded Bartram to explore the pre-Revolutionary South in order to gather and artistically document specimens. During this period, Bartram drew animals and plants, while also collecting “nondescript” (undescribed) flowers and seeds, and Fothergill related information about how to properly package and ship the parcels overseas. The 'Report' represents a record of an active communication between two naturalist and patron, and the samples and advice were tools of acknowledgement and admiration between …

Journal, Diary Of A Journey Through The Carolinas, Georgia And Florida From July 1, 1765, To April 10, 1766, John Bartram, Michael Sadler, Brent Jowers

Early Visions Bucket

"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."
