Thomas Blake Earlre and D.

Morris -- Environmental knowledge, expertise, and the development of slavery in Bermuda / Keith Pluymers -- The nature of William Bartram's Travels / Peter C. Messer.

By centering this project on a region, the American South-defined as the southeastern reaches of North America and the Caribbean-the authors interrogate ways in which European colonizers, Native Americans, and Africans interacted in and with the (sub)tropics, a place foreign to Europeans"--
