About This Book
The narrative recounts a journey across eastern North America, tracing routes from Philadelphia through New Jersey and along the Hudson to Albany, then onward to Montreal and Quebec. It combines travelogue with botanical fieldwork, documenting wild plants, seeds and specimens gathered for later study alongside observations on climate, soils, and cultivation methods. The author records encounters with settler communities, garden and farm practices, and natural habitats, notes seasonal and logistical challenges of travel, and evaluates which crops and techniques could adapt to colder regions. The work alternates chronological travel accounts with focused natural‑history and agricultural commentary.
