Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A family association copy, inscribed in blue pen on title page: "Aunt Blanche--with much love from the 'junior author.' Dorothy E. Snyder." A thoroughly annotated list of species with records of specimens, bibliography, and more. Approx. 290 pages. Foreword by Ernest S. Dodge, the director of the Peabody Museum. Dorothy Eastman Snyder was the curator of natural history at the Peabody from 1951 to 1969. The biography in the description of her papers held there describes her as "the first woman elected to the American Ornithological Union and the '600 Club.'" Our understanding is that Florence Merriam Bailey was the first woman fellow in the AOU, but perhaps there's some distinction in "elected." The 600 club is the rare group of people who have seen 600 bird species in North America (though with the invention of rare bird alerts, etc., 700 birds has now become the rarefied mark). In any case, Snyder is a pioneering woman in natural history, and her quip in the inscription about being a "junior author" seems to directly get at the extent to which she may have been under recognized. A very good book in blue wraps with a few spots to cover, short splits along front cover at head and tail of spine, and one faint crease slant across the rear cover. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
