"The North American Sylva; or A Description of the Forest Trees of The
United States, Canada and Nova Scotia, Not Described in the Work of F.Andrew
Michaux, and Containing All the Forest Trees Discovered in the Rocky Mountains,
the Territory of Oregon, Down to the Shores of the Pacific, and into the
Confines of California, as well as in Various Parts of the United States is
considered to be one of the most important Botanical works on North American
Trees and is a landmark in the literature of America. In addition to being the
first significant survey of American trees and soil, it serves as a fascinating
travelogue, providing detailed portraits of the developing American landscape.
With Nuttall's supplement, "it is no exaggeration to remark that it is the
most complete work of its kind, and is a production of unrivalled interest and
beauty, giving descriptions and illustrations of all the forest trees of North
America, from the arctic limits of arborescent vegetation to the confines of the
tropical circle" (Sabin 48694-5).
This collection is currently on display at the Smithsonian
Museum of American History.
