Companion book to the documentary—“Cultivating the Wild: William Bartram’s Travels” Bartram’s Living Legacy The Travels and the Nature of the South William Bartram†; Dorinda G. Dallmeyer, editor More than two centuries have passed since the publication of William Bartram’s Travels in 1791.

While There Were Still Wild Birds A Personal History of Southern Quail Hunting Richard E. Rankin, Jr. While There Were Still Wild Birds is a personal history of Southern quail hunting as it was lived at three different South Carolina quail hunting clubs and by related dog trainers, hunting guides, and hunters. The author’s father, Richard E.
