Since 1832, when George Ord anonymously authored the first biographical sketch of William Bartram, much has been written about America’s first artist/ naturalist. Through the years, fact and fiction have grown up together, leaving a muddied and sometimes inaccurate picture of the man and his role in history. It has been the goal of this report to bring together in one cohesive document, all of the available information about William Bartram and his life and to provide as accurate and objective a biography as history would permit.
Much interesting and important information was gathered during the course of the study. While the most pertinent information has been incorporated in the text of the report, there was a considerable amount of technical data which could not be included. It is the purpose of this section to provide some of this information and to list the technical studies which contain still more. The studies were prepared by distinguished scholars and knowledgeable citizens from around the country especially for this report, and are available for public scrutiny in the files of the Bartram Trail Conference.
The Selected Bibliography provided here lists the most important sources consulted in the preparation of the report. Many others, providing background information on the scientific, historical and geographic subjects of the report, were necessarily omitted for reasons of space and clarity. A great debt of thanks is owed to the many libraries and other institutions that generously shared their bibliographical resources during the preparation of this report. Their invaluable assistance is gratefully acknowledged.
R.M.P.
During the course of this Bartram Heritage Study, an active search has been made for books known to have belonged to John or William Bartram. (It is assumed that William read and probably inherited his father’s library, so information about both libraries is considered important in learning more about William Bartram.)
The search has located a surprising number of such books (over twenty) in a variety of places. It is hoped that more can be located as research is continued in the years ahead. The list of Bartram-owned books that follows is as complete as present knowledge allows. Additional books, if located, should be brought to the attention of The Bartram Trail Conference, 3815 Interstate Court, Suite 202, Montgomery, Alabama 36109.

Location: Rare Book Department, The Free Library of Philadelphia.
The following is a partial excerpt from Bartram’s planned address to the U.S. Congress on the subject of racial equality:
“I am about to speak to you on a subject … the most indispensibly deserving your serious consideration perhaps that ever hath or ever will come before you.
I am fully sensible of my inability to’ speak to nations on a subject of reformation of morals, being fully persuaded that it requires more than human wisdom and oratorical talents … Yet … I find it a duty incumbent on me to declare my sentiments, and render my little talent for the good and safety of my fellow creature & citizens of the World.
Men! do you believe that the Universe … was made by a supreme Creator … Our divine Oracles teach us to do Justice and mercy and fear God … V\Tho was it said to man do thou the same to others thou wouldst them do unto these.
Now Brethren, since it is plain from the above principles … that it is our moral conduct towards each other which constitutes true Religion … It seriously behoves us to … consider our past & present conduct whether it accords … with the commands of the Universal lord and Sovereign of this World…
Ye Chiefs of this Nation whom the people have chosen and appointed as Watchmen … for their safety Recollect the fundamental principle, the first articles of the constitution of the United States, viz. We hold it as a sacred truth, that all men are born free, and have an equal unalienable right to Life, Liberty and property, etc.
… Do we not continue in a woeful predicament by suffering the Black People who are fellow citizens of our Nation to be held in perpetual Bondage and slavery, being drag’d in chains from Africa their native Land many most of them for no crime whatever & none for any crime or harm that they have rendered us: incredible that an enlightened People as we would feign be should continue to afflict them…
Ye chiefs in the National Council, do you not confess while ye sit in the Assembly that those poor illtreated People are fellow citizens. Consider God is no respector of Persons & that the Black White Red & Yellow People are equally dear to him and under this protection and favour & that sooner or later ye must render full retribution…
Americans ye do not know your own interests by keeping these inocent people in bondage against their will…”
The original manuscript of this address is in the collection of the Pennsylvania Historical Society. This excerpt is taken from: William Bartram Interpreter of the American Landscape by N. Bryllion Fagin, Associate in English, The John Hopkins University, Maryland, 1933 p. 16 & 17.
