#OTD Andre #Michaux made his way into #SouthCarolina by crossing the #Tugalo River.
He wrote in his #Journal:
"I recognized the #YellowRoot, #MountainLaurel, #Hydrangea, & #Hemlock #Spruce...."
It was the first time Andre saw Yellow Root (Rhododendron minus), also called the #Piedmont rhododendron, which is native to #Tennessee, #NorthCarolina, South Carolina, #Georgia, & #Alabama.
