Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A selection of writings from naturalists John and William Bartram, who explored Florida in 1765 In 1765 father and son naturalists John and William Bartram explored the St. Johns River Valley in Florida, a newly designated British territory and subtropical wonderland. They collected specimens and recorded extensive observations of the region’s plants, animals, geography, ecology, and Native cultures. The chronicle of their adventures provided the world with an intimate look at La Florida. Travels on the St. Johns River includes writings from the Bartrams' journey in a flat-bottomed boat from St. Augustine to the river's swampy headwaters near Lake Loughman, just west of today’s Cape Canaveral. Vivid entries from John's Diary detail the settlement locations of Indigenous people and what vegetation overtook the river's slow current. Excerpts from William's narrative, written a decade later when he tried to make a home in East Florida, contemplate the environment and the river that would come to be regarded as the liquid heart of his celebrated Travels. A selection of personal letters reveal John's misgivings about his son's decision to become a planter in a pine barren with little shelter, but they also speak to William's belated sense of accomplishment for traveling past his father's footsteps. Editors Thomas Hallock and Richard Franz provide valuable commentary and a modern record of the flora and fauna the Bartrams encountered. Taken together, the firsthand accounts and editorial notes help us see the land through the explorers' eyes and witness the many environmental changes the centuries have wrought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daniel Shed Genealogy: Ancestry and Descendants of Daniel Shed of Braintree, Massachusetts, 1327-1920 About 1880 the author sought to learn something about his own great-grandfather who had been, tradition said, a revolutionary soldier. In satisfying this curiosity he found others of the family equally anxious to learn about their ancestors and thus his researches went on, gathering records where many had sowed and few or none had ever reaped, until they assumed considerable volume. The family register thus begun and prosecuted and herein pre sented contains little that will interest the world at large from either an historical or literary view, yet it is hoped it will prove of some service to those who, bound by ties of a common ancestry, have their relationships thus brought together for the first time. It is not a history of famous men nor of high dignitaries in Church or State. Many men seek to honor themselves in that certain ones of their name have been great soldiers, i'lsts, preachers, of whose rank they speak with pride.' Our forefathers were plain men whose true record is that of honest yeomen, earning their daily bread by the sweat of their brows, clearing up a new country and making homes for their families; pledging their lives for these rights, even through long wars, and once their rights secured returning as sturdily to their customary avocations. Of such men, others' ancestors as well as ours, and their careers, it may not be necessary to write a history. They need it not; the Whole country is their memorial; without them it would not now exist; it is a worthy and lasting witness. But to collect the names of these men and women too, from the fast fading pages of many books, here and there, to say that they did well by all.
