Sadie Bird lives in Shaconage, North Carolina, with Lazarus, a mixed-breed dog she rescued from the forest.

Two hundred fifty years ago, on the eve of the American Revolution, William Bartram, the young naturalist, illustrator, and observer of indigenous customs traveled the Southern backcountry in search of species new to science. His journey was a rich and rhapsodic description of nature and of landscapes largely undisturbed by colonial settlers, though on the eve of great change and upheaval. WILLIAM BARTRAM AND THE NATURE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN is a look back at the nature described by Bartram, as well as the vast changes and seemingly irreversible damage inflicted upon the American landscape since that time.
