Note 22 — PETER KALM’s TRAVELS. (continued 5)
Johann Reinhold Forster translation
Thomas Herriot, servant to Sir Walter Raleigh, who was employed by him to examine into the productions of North America, makes no mention of the peach among the other fruits he describes, and M. du Pratz, who has given a very good account of Louisiana and the Missisippi, says, that the natives got their peaches from the English colony of Carolina, before the French settled there.
