My kind of read.
Audubon's story....the illegitimate son
of the French middle class,
coming to America at eighteen
years of age, to escape Napoleon's
army.
Audubon's history is entwined
with early America.
In an age prior to photography,
Audubon goes to great lengths to
capture true likeness of birds on paper,
with his goal to create as close as
possible .....a complete catalog of
American birds.
Biography and history
wrapped up in one book.
Wherever the young man went he watched the birds.
Birds moved through the human world at will. In their
large freedom they lived rich lives in parallel with
people and people hardly knew.........
Have a blessed day......Dee Dee
