89_0	André Michaux, also styled Andrew Michaud, (8 March 174611 October 1802) was a French botanist and
89_1	explorer. He is most noted for his study of North American flora. In addition Michaux collected
89_2	specimens in England, Spain, France, and even Persia. His work was part of a larger European effort
89_3	to gather knowledge about the natural world. Michaux's contributions include Histoire des chênes de
89_4	l'Amérique (1801; "The Oaks of North America") and Flora Boreali-Americana (1803; "The Flora of
89_5	North America") which continued to be botanical references well into the 19th century. His son,
89_6	François André Michaux, also became an authoritative botanist.
89_7	Biography
89_8	Michaux was born in Satory, part of Versailles, Yvelines, where his father managed farmland on the
89_9	king's estate. Michaux was trained in the agricultural sciences in anticipation of his one-day
89_10	assuming his father's duties, and received a basic classical 18th century education, including
89_11	Latin and some Greek, until he was fourteen. In 1769, he married Cecil Claye, the daughter of a
89_12	prosperous farmer; she died a year later giving birth to their son, François André. Michaux then
89_13	took up the study of botany and became a student of Bernard de Jussieu. In 1779 he spent time
89_14	studying botany in England, and in 1780 he explored Auvergne, the Pyrenees and northern Spain. In
89_15	1782 he was sent by the French government as secretary to the French consul on a botanical mission
89_16	to Persia. His journey began unfavourably, as he was robbed of all his equipment except his books;
89_17	but he gained influential support in Persia after curing the shah of a dangerous illness. After two
89_18	years he returned to France with a fine herbarium, and also introduced numerous Eastern plants into
89_19	the botanical gardens of France.
89_20	André Michaux was appointed by Louis XVI as Royal botanist under the General Director of the
89_21	Bâtiments du Roi and sent to the United States in 1785 with an annual salary of 2000 livres, to
89_22	make the first organized investigation of plants that could be of value in French building and
89_23	carpentry, medicine and agriculture. He traveled with his son François André Michaux (1770–1855)
89_24	through Canada and the United States. In 1786, Michaux attempted to establish a horticultural
89_25	garden of thirty acres in Bergen's Wood on the Hudson Palisades near Hackensack, New Jersey. The
89_26	garden, overseen by Pierre-Paul Saunier from the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, who had emigrated with
89_27	Michaux, failed because of the harsh winters. In 1787, Michaux established and maintained for a
89_28	decade a botanical garden of 111 acres near what is now Aviation Avenue in North Charleston, South
89_29	Carolina, from which he made many expeditions to various parts of North America.
89_30	Michaux described and named many North American species during this time. Between 1785 and 1791 he
89_31	shipped ninety cases of plants and many seeds to France. At the same time he introduced many
89_32	species to America from various parts of the world, including Camellia, tea-olive, and crepe
89_33	myrtle.
89_34	After the collapse of the French monarchy, André Michaux, who was a royal botanist, lost his source
89_35	of income. He actively lobbied the American Philosophical Society to support his next exploration.
89_36	His efforts paid off and, in early 1793, Thomas Jefferson asked him to undertake an expedition of
89_37	westward exploration, similar to the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Corps of Discovery, conducted
89_38	by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark a decade later. At the time of the planned Michaux
89_39	expedition, Lewis was an 18-year-old protégé of Jefferson who asked to be included in the
89_40	expedition, and was turned down by Jefferson.
89_41	Before Michaux set out, however, he volunteered to assist the French Minister to America,
89_42	Edmond-Charles Genet. Genet was engaging in war-like acts against English and Spanish naval
89_43	interests, aggravating relations between America, England and Spain. George Rogers Clark offered to
89_44	organize and lead a militia to take over Louisiana territory from the Spanish. Michaux's mission
89_45	was to evaluate Clark's plan and coordinate between Clark's actions and Genet's. Michaux went to
89_46	Kentucky, but, without adequate funds, Clark was unable to raise the militia and the plan
89_47	eventually folded. It is not true, as sometimes reported, that Thomas Jefferson ordered Michaux to
89_48	leave the United States after he learned of his involvement with Genet. Though Jefferson did not
89_49	support Genet's actions, he was aware of Genet's instructions for Michaux and even provided Michaux
89_50	with letters of introduction to the Governor of Kentucky.
89_51	On his return to France in 1796 he was shipwrecked, however most of his specimens survived. His two
89_52	American gardens declined. Saunier, his salary unpaid, cultivated potatoes and hay and paid taxes
89_53	on the New Jersey property, which is now still remembered as "The Frenchman's Garden", part of
89_54	Machpelah Cemetery in North Bergen.
89_55	In 1800, Michaux sailed with Nicolas Baudin's expedition to Australia, but left the ship in
89_56	Mauritius. He then went to Madagascar to investigate the flora of that island. Michaux died at
89_57	Tamatave in Madagascar of a tropical fever at around 9 a.m. on 11 October 1802. His work as a
89_58	botanist was chiefly done in the field, and he added largely to what was previously known of the
89_59	botany of the East and of America.
89_60	In 1800, on his visit to the United States, Pierre Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, concerned about the
89_61	abandoned botanical gardens, wrote to the Institut de France, who sent over Michaux's son François
