Description
This National Geographic Magazine resource features a brief article discussing Thomas Jefferson's quest to convince leading French naturalist, Georges-Louis Leclerc, that the New World supported large and powerful animals. The naturalist claimed that organisms that thrived in the Old World were reduced in the New, prevented from thriving in sunlight by "moist and poisonous vapors" in the air.
