Charleston, South Carolina, proved important for Audubon's Florida journeys,
his career, and his personal life. There he met the Reverend John Bachman,
who became a life-long friend. Bachman gave him letters of introduction
to prominent Key West men, such as Dr. Strobel, that made Audubon's Key
West visit more productive.
Audubon first visited Charleston, South Carolina, in 1831 when seeking
transportation south to St. Augustine. He returned, by way of Savannah,
Georgia, after his St. Augustine adventures, again to find a boat sailing
to Florida, this time to the Keys and the Dry Tortugas. When he left the
Keys, he returned to Charleston.
