Summary "Reis door Noord Amerika: Gedaan door den Heer Pieter Kalm" by Pehr Kalm is a scientific travelogue written in the mid-18th century. The work documents the journey of Pieter Kalm, a Swedish botanist and professor, as he explores North America with a focus on its flora, fauna, and agriculture. This detailed account aims to provide insights beneficial for Swedish agriculture and natural history, reflecting the scientific curiosity of the Enlightenment period. The opening of the travelogue sets the stage for Kalm's expedition, detailing his preparations and initial challenges. He begins his journey from Uppsala, Sweden, on October 16, 1747, accompanied by gardener Lars Jungstrom. They set sail for America, enduring a series of storms and navigational difficulties before finally reaching Philadelphia after a month and a half at sea. The text not only recounts their maritime experiences but also includes observations about the land and sea during their voyage, revealing Kalm’s keen interest in documenting the natural world around him as he transitions into a new and unfamiliar environment.
