Charles Mohr (1824–1901), nacido en Alemania, pasó la mayor parte de su vida adulta trabajando como farmacéutico en Mobile, Alabama. Además, contribuyó con múltiples artículos científicos y populares sobre la botánica del sureste de los Estados Unidos. Sufriendo de muchas dolencias físicas, buscó tratamiento en baños termales y climas frescos, incluyendo Asheville, Carolina del Norte. Allí pudo trabajar con botánicos en el recién establecido Herbario Biltmore. A principios de 1900, se mudó con su familia a Asheville, donde terminó de leer las pruebas de su obra magna, Plant Life of Alabama. Murió en Asheville el 17 de julio de 1901, dos semanas antes de que su libro fuera publicado, y está enterrado allí.
