He Gave Us the Gingko
The lives of [FRANCOIS ANDRE MICHAUX] and his son are in many ways typical of those of many plant collectors; not as calamitous as some, but not lacking in rigor and near disaster, and interestingly linked with historical events. ''Andre and Francois Andre Michaux,'' a biography of the two men, has been deeply researched and sensitively written by [Henry Savage Jr.] and [Elizabeth J. Savage], the authors of ''Lost Heritage'' and ''Discovering America,'' in a handsomely produced volume. The half-tone illustrations in ''Andre and Francois Andree Michaux'' are not very numerous; but it may have been difficult to find more - for instance, no portrait of Andre is known. And the book suffers, I have to say - as curiously enough so many comparable accounts do - from a total absence of maps of the travels of these dedicated Frenchmen who left an important mark on the history of North American horticulture.
