Description

"Kate Furbish and the Flora of Maine acquaints a wide audience for the first time with the life and watercolors of a remarkable nineteenth-century artist and botanist."--BOOK JACKET. "Kate Furbish and other amateur botanists have contributed greatly to our present knowledge of plant life. Because of their diligent efforts, exploring remote areas and collecting plant specimens, we now have fairly good records of the occurrence and distribution of plants."--BOOK JACKET. "Working with old letters and documents, and with Furbish's work itself, Ada Graham and Frank Graham, Jr. have been able to piece together the engaging story of Kate Furbish's life. Spanning nearly a century, her long life coincided with the development of botany as a prestigious science in the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
