	William Bartram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Bartram (April 20, 1739 -July 22, 1823) was an American naturalist, the son of John Bartram.
		When Bartram explained to the Cowkeeper that he was interested in studying the local plants and animals, the chief was amused and began calling him "Puc-puggee," or "the flower hunter." But, he also gave him free reign to explore his territory on Payne's Prairie.
		Bartram spent most of the final decades of his life in quiet work and study at his home and garden in Kingsessing, refusing several requests to teach botany and declining an invitation from Thomas Jefferson to accompany an expedition up the Red River in the Louisiana Territory in 1806.

		When Bartram was at Cowee, North Carolina, in 1774, forty farmers in Lexington, Massachusetts, stood in a line on the village green and “fired the shot heard round the world.” Cowee is still there, not much changed, except that there’s a hiking club and a Bartram Trail that they keep neat and well-marked.

		John Bartram (1699-1777), "the first native-born American to devote his entire life to the study of nature," was an eminently practical man, a scientist devoted to the rigorous description of living things.
		Among his subjects was the Venus flytrap, along with hundreds of species of plants and animals, fully "one quarter of all the plants identified and sent to Europe during the colonial period." His son William (1739-1823) was, by contrast, something of a dreamer, and far less methodical a scientist than was his father.
		Nature artist/botanist William, a lifelong depressive unable to fulfill his father's expectations, fled from creditors, failed business ventures and a lone, unconsummated love affair to devote himself entirely to nature.
