John Bradbury (1768–1823) was a Scottish botanist noted for his travels in the United States Midwest and West in the early 19th Century and his eyewitness account of the New Madrid earthquake. In the United States he met with Thomas Jefferson in 1809 who recommended that he should base his investigations in St. Louis, Missouri rather than New Orleans, Louisiana. While in St. Louis Bradbury explored the area and sent seeds back to Liverpool.In 1811 he and naturalist Thomas Nuttall joined the Astor Expedition to find a faster overland route to Astoria, Oregon.Bradbury did not stay with the Expedition all the way to Oregon but rather stayed with the group on the Missouri River to Montana before starting to return to New Orleans while documenting 40 new species of plants by sending seeds to his son. His first person account is reported as the only eyewitness account of the earthquake from a person with a scientific background. He was to publish an account of his research in Travels in the interior of America, in the years 1809, 1810, 1811 which was first published in 1817.This book published in 1819 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
