From the wanderings of America's first naturalist William Bartram from Philapelphia to Florida in the years before the Revolution, to Prince Maximilian of Wied's epic journey up the wild Missouri River in the 1830s, to John Richardson's overland trek to the Arctic with Franklin in the 1820s that was benighted by starvation, cannibalism and murder, to Henry Walter Bates's ten-year sojourn along the Amazon, these tales bring to light the adventurous formative years of scientific exploration in the Americas. With nine maps and dozens of historical images. Part two of the Explorers of the Americas Series. Read part one of the series: Wanderers and Nomads: True Stories of Wild and Eccentric Adventurers in the Americas."On his death in 1902 at the age of sixty-eight, Major John Wesley Powell had his brain cut from his skull and submerged in a jar of preserving fluid. He had bequeathed the organ to a colleague to settle a bet regarding brain size, which was believed to be related to intelligence.
