Bartram Trail-Lowndes County AL123 Print E-mail
William Bartram, America's first native born artist-naturalist, passed through Lowndes County during the Revolutionary era, making the first scientific notations of its flora, fauna and inhabitants. As the appointed botanist of Britain's King George III, he traveled 2,400 miles in three journeys into the southern colonies in 1775-1776, collecting rare plants and specimens and making detailed drawings of plants and animals.

There is an error in the Bartram Trail markers in Alabama. William Bartram was not the King's botanist in North America, that honor belonged to John Bartram.
