摘要：William Bartram's eighteenth century Romantic descriptions of the Seminole Indian and Florida's landscape became the stock tropes for nineteenth and twentieth- century Florida guidebooks, postcards, and brochures. In his 1792 travel narrative, Travels, Bartram devotes much time to the discussion of the Seminoles and the Florida landscape. Reflecting the tradition of early Western prelapsarian mythology yet infused with the new, spiritualized nature of Romanticism like that imagined by Rousseau, Bartram saw in the Seminole a handsome free natural man of character and dignity uncorrupted by modern civilization.
