1869 Life of James Audubon BIRDS Travel Illustrated Native American Indians
“The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sang the best.”
― John James Audubon
John James Audubon is one of America’s most well-known naturalist painters, whose impressive portfolios of types of birds developed into ‘Birds of America’ the finest book of ornithology ever developed. Many additional notes on birds and other animals were found in his journals that, after his death, were published by his granddaughter Maria.
This biography, which covers Audubon’s travels in Europe, Labrador, and his voyage on the Missouri River, is filled with stories and discoveries beyond his research on birds. He describes Native American Indian tribes, impressive landscapes, Indian artifacts such as tobacco pipes, encounter with Daniel Boone, and much more.
