Travels into North America Volume 2 of 3 1st Edition by Johann Reinhold Forster, Pehr Kalm

Travels into North America, Volume 2 of 3 is the second installment of a seminal travel narrative by Pehr Kalm, a Swedish-Finnish naturalist and disciple of Carl Linnaeus, translated and edited by Johann Reinhold Forster. Originally written in the 18th century, this work offers a detailed and vivid account of Kalm’s journey through parts of the northeastern United States and Canada between 1748 and 1751. Volume 2 delves into observations of the natural environment, local economies, agriculture, and the social customs of colonial and Indigenous communities. Combining scientific inquiry with ethnographic detail, it remains a valuable resource for historians, botanists, and anyone interested in early accounts of North American life.
