Synopsis
Naturalist, artist, woodsman — all these descriptions fit John James Audubon, and each of them adds its own color to the story of his life. His personality grips the imagination — unflagging energy drove him from Pennsylvania to Texas, from Florida to Labrador in his unending search for birds; salty humor was capable of self-appraisal; unwavering devotion served Lucy, his wife. Courage and independence armed him equally against frontier dangers and the slander and flattery of civilization. His singleness of purpose never faltered from his youth to his death.
Constance Rourke is an authority on the American frontier and American folk-lore. This background and her interest in the natural scene combine to make her portrait of Audubon a rich contribution to American literature.
A biography of the celebrated naturalist, with twelve colored plates from original Audubon prints, and black & white illustrations by James MacDonald.
