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. This work places Bartram in the context of his times and explains his conspicuous avoidance of people, places, and events embroiled in revolutionary fervor.
