Michaux accompanied his father to the United States, and hisHistoire des arbres forestiers de l'Amérique septentrionale (three volumes, 181013) contains the results of his explorations, giving an account of the principal American timber trees north of Mexico and east of the Rocky Mountains. Michaux trekked the Allegheny Mountains in 1789 when trans-Allegheny travel was limited to indigenous peoples' trails and one military trail.
