This book examines the writings and life of Cadwallader Colden, a prominent Scottish physician and scientist who settled in the American colonies in the early 18th century. Colden made significant contributions to botany, mathematics, and astronomy, and was also an important political figure in the colony of New York. The author explores Colden's complex relationship with Native Americans, his role in boundary disputes between New York and neighboring colonies, and his involvement in the intellectual and scientific debates of his time. Through an analysis of Colden's extensive correspondence, the book sheds light on the intellectual and political landscape of colonial America and provides a nuanced portrait of a fascinating and influential figure.
