After the publication of the first volume of The Birds of America and its heralded reception in Philadelphia, John Audubon and his two assistants departed in late September 1831 to the new Florida territory to pursue, collect and draw Florida waterbirds and regional exotics for Audubon's Great Work. Enroute, they established a base camp In Charleston with John Bachman a resident. Audubon learned of his election to the Academy of Natural Sciences and began his correspondence and writing about his daily exploration adventures. Using government ships and accomodations, they sailed for St. Augustine: explored and collected bird specimens in North Florida, and Audubon drew birds for his Great Work. Next, they sailed for Key West, stopping for collecting at Keys along the way. They spent time in Key West with great success and in late May 1832 the Audubon party returned to Charleston and Philadelphia. Audubon continued his journals and incorporated his drawings, paintings into his great work, The Birds of America.
