Hamilton Paul Traub (June 18, 1890 – July 14, 1983) was an American botanist. He specialized in the study of Amaryllidaceae. He also did horticultural studies on beans.[2] dr Traub was one of the founding members of the American Amaryllis Society (now the International Bulb Society) in 1933, and for a long time the editor of its annual publication, variously called Year Book, American Amaryllis Society, Herbertia and Plant Life. Amaryllis Year Book. The author completed this book, his literary opus, in 1976, in homage to the Bicentennial. He produced it in grand opera format, in seven librettos in gratitude for the privilege of being an American citizen. The author began work on The Call of Destiny, while serving in the National Army in France during the First World War. It has finally seen the light of day in 1980, after a gestation period of more than six decades, to fill an obvious gap in American literature. The present book at long last provides an epic overview of the origin of the American Republic. Up to the present, the American people have not had a condensed version of the founding phase of the evolving American Republic as literature contrasted with the often lengthy dry historical accounts which are read mostly by the so-called elite and not by the American public generally. No one heretofore has presented the vast sweep of early American history as a literary entity, from the birth of George Washington in 1732 on the Atlantic seaboard to the arrival of the Lewis & Clark Expedition at the mouth of the Columbia River on the Pacific Ocean in 1805, envisioning the expansion of the Nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific in temperate North America. Condition: Good / Good.
