Hi Zach!
The only botanists that did work on CP *AND* have a (auto)biography
out are Charles Darwin and William Bartram. Not that their books
"Insectivorous Plants" and "'TRAVELS THROUGH NORTH AND SOUTH
CAROLINA, GEORGIA, EAST AND WEST FLORIDA...'" are available in each
and every bookshop but old and new copies are around since 1875/1791
respectively. You mentioned "trip" so if this is some kind of quiz
I would say Bartram's travels. (one of the) First to mention Sarrs
as CP in this book.
I don't know what you were really after but if it's about CP books
feel free to ask more or see my website.
Best regards, Stefan.
