His 1800-mile journey began when he in the company of Jean Chaptal sailed for America and arrived at Charleston South Carolina October 9 1801. He had been instructed to close down a nursery founded by his father Andrew Michaux at Charleston for economic reasons and he sent back to France the seedlings he thought worthy of cultivation. In the spring of 1802 he began travels in other parts of the United States before returning to France at the end of 1803 and organizing the shipments of plants and seeds he sent back.
